believe hard
Is it a coincidence? We don't know. It's just hard to believe that it is.
drivers experience owner
Our experience is the drivers know what they want and why they want it. I don't think having someone between you and the owner helps.

anyone changes closely dealing earlier final instead jack knows might move numbers race recognizes regular run season teams watched weeks year
I think in the world of The Chase, Jack recognizes that you have to make changes earlier in the year than you would in years past. We are dealing with a 26-race regular season instead of 36 races. Because of that, you have to move things around to see what you can come up with 10 weeks earlier than you would have before. But I think anyone who has really watched our race teams closely this year knows that we have run better than the final numbers might look.

If this were the only thing that ever happened to Jack, it might be a little easier to take. But we'll get through it.
deals driver exactly four high racing thinks
If the driver thinks that Roush Racing is exactly the same as four other deals in the garage, and 'I just need to go get the high bidder,' that's probably not the right driver for us.
arresting chose fact offensive officer permission reluctant smallest
He would have to get permission and we would be very reluctant to give it. It's very offensive to us that he chose to take on the arresting officer the way he did verbally. And then the fact there was alcohol, even in the smallest way, involved.
