beat bit crashed earlier ends feeling five flawless gets happens hazard hopes phoenix position puts run saying season spots tony win
I'm not feeling as optimistic, obviously, but Tony and Jimmie got in a little tangle earlier this season at Phoenix and Tony got wrecked, ... The other thing is, is they have had really flawless runs, and Phoenix is a little bit more of a hazard than Homestead, so to speak. But anything can happen. Jimmie has not run that well at Phoenix; if he ends up 18th, I win the race, Tony gets crashed or something happens to Tony Stewart 's car, that puts us right in the position with having to beat them by only about five spots (at) Homestead to win the title. You know, that is what it's going to take. So I'm saying we're not out of it, but, you know, our hopes are not like they were.
advantage balanced bring car drive easier excited great guy numbers provide taken
If you give him the right car and the car is balanced properly, it's got the right aero numbers and all that, and then he's got to drive it, that makes it much easier to bring a guy in and be competitive right off. I'm excited that we're able to do that as a company, to be able to provide Carl with such a great opportunity. And he's taken advantage of it.
ability atlanta car drive finishing merely mine position race similar track versus won
His car was similar to mine when he won Atlanta versus me finishing third, and it was just who was in front. It was merely track position at the end of the race, so he's got the ability to drive the race cars.
bold calling happy position race tires
Calling two tires there under green, that was a pretty bold move, ... I'm just happy to see out sport is so equal, to see the 12 and the 20 race for position, and me and the 17, after 300 laps, to race for position like that is pretty incredible.
came door gave slam
I know the 24 came down and kind of gave me a door slam down the backstretch.
race racing room seem
I like racing at Michigan, ... There's a lot of room to race and we seem to do well there.
beginning five last learned races seems toward winning
I'm kind of (working) off what I did last year, winning those five races at the beginning of the season, and kind of going toward what we learned at the end of the season. It seems to be working.
car fairly good race track
I'm pretty optimistic. We've got a really, really good car and know the race track fairly well. We know what we need to do to win.
favorite richmond talk
If you talk to a lot of the drivers, I think most of them will tell you that Richmond is one of their favorite tracks.
car good guess happened knocked middle toe
That got me up in the fence, and then my car wouldn't go. That knocked the toe out of it, but I guess it's a good thing it happened then and not in the middle of the race.
car changes definitely effect hard run
It's definitely had an effect today. I mean, we're making changes on the car and we go back out and make another run and it's slower. So it's like it should have been faster, but it's slower, so it's really hard right now.
bad came car finished good happened quite tough
That's not too bad considering what happened to us today, ... We just did what we could and that was all we could do. It was a tough day, but we kind of came back from it and finished 13th. The car wasn't as good as it was in the spring, but it was pretty decent. We just couldn't quite get it done.
guys wanting win
Congratulations to Kyle. Those guys have been wanting a win for a while.
car giving happy pass picturing race thinking time won
Don't get me wrong, ... I was going to pass him if I could. But you have a lot of time to think around here and I was just picturing him buckled down in that race car giving it all he's got, just thinking about him winning. I'm probably as happy as he is that he won today.
