He (Roush) has a huge advantage. He's got a 50 percent chance, I think. All of the teams are running good. But the (No.) 20 car (Stewart) is better than all of us. We'll see.
We hadn't been that good. I hadn't been real comfortable in the car and we didn't leave ourselves enough time to switch to qualifying trim and just was kind of disorganized and didn't get a good fast lap in (during practice).
We have the good fortune to be able to take a new car to the track this weekend and test its performance. Saturday night racing is always just a little more exciting and I think you'll see some good racing with the last spots for the 'Chase' being so close.
You know what, our whole team feels really, really good about last week -- like we won almost. Spirits are high because the fact is that we have good race cars and we're running very well. That's the key.
I can't say what happened because we didn't have a failure all year.
I enjoy driving the cars and I like the Ford family. Ford was one of the bigger influences of why I stayed at Roush. I wanted to keep driving a Ford because I like the Fords.
If they had the tire situation totally worked out, we wouldn't have to use the small fuel cells. I am concerned because I crashed hard there last year and I definitely don't want to do that again. The place is really fast and you don't want to have any problems. The most important thing is being safe.
If this is the Cup race, that's the last lap and that's what going on, it's going to be a different outcome, I can tell you that.
I'd like to leave here with a 30 point lead in the standings, ... This is a big race for us. With Talladega coming up next, you never know what can happen there. So we need a strong run, and I think we'll have one.
I was going to pass him if I could, but I was real excited following him,
I was real nervous about coming down here, this is not our strong suit for sure. The car is driving really good, the car feels fast. I just have a good feeling about this race car, so I'm much happier now.
Let them have the attention, ... I believe we've got a great chance to win this thing. It could get real interesting.
So I'm saying we're not out of it.
Of course I watch the Panthers, but I want the Seahawks to win the race. See, I'm thinking about racing.
