I've got a car that's as good as my teammates are and they're out there running out front, but I just wasn't in the right position. I was just kind of taking it easy there and the motor gave up. It had been vibrating for a little while. We've got a chronic vibration issue. I don't know, sometimes it makes a difference and sometimes it doesn't, but obviously today it did.
It was a great run. The guys did a great job in the pits. The guys did a fantastic job.good run for us I am really excited about it. I learned a lot today.a good warm-up for tomorrow I think.
It was pretty incredible to race a guy like that for the win, it was pretty neat,
It's something I'm going to think about for a long, long time. I lost the championship by 35 points and we lost over 50 (points) with the loose wheel.
Everybody is going to have the same thing. To me, that's going to be disastrous. I've heard all secondhand information. I haven't sat down and said, 'What exactly are we going to be able to do?' but I heard that we're not going to be able to do this, we're not going to be able to do that.
It's going to be easy to make up the first six spots. The next six are going to be tougher.
It's gonna be like this for the next few years, I think, ... It's gonna be good for drivers because there is a shortage of drivers.
It's gonna be like this for the next few years, I think,
It's free enterprise. C'mon, bring your best stuff.
It's frustrating. We didn't have an engine failure all season last year.
It's frustrating. It kind of drains you, but I've got to be optimistic about our season. It's unfortunate because this is how we make our living, too. It's a big payday, big PR to come and win a race like California Speedway and lots of points on the line.
It wasn't the car I was thinking I was going to have. But the guys did a great job in the pits, and I kept it off the wall and didn't get any flat tires. We just did everything we needed to do, really. ... We wanted a top-five (finish), so we can't really complain.
It was clear we had a winning car. Some of the lapped cars were being tough to pass. I put them down a lap early. Our car was so good, and our car was still really good (when he crashed).
It was clear that we had a winning car. When all you have to do is lift on the gas pedal and elect not to run into the car in front of you on the straightaway, that's pretty unforgivable. You've got to have a little bit of respect for the other drivers you're racing with, and Kurt hasn't shown respect.
