Just had to dig, fight real hard to get back, to get past all those cars. Once I got there, my tires were used up,
Just didn't have anything left on them. I thought I was going to hit the fence, wasn't sure which way I was going to hit the fence, but was able to get it back together about mid-pack and work my way back to second.
Kyle got a great restart, ... Great job by those guys tonight. They deserve it.
People are starting to feel the pressure. You've got to get into the chase. I think that's got people on alert of having to drive hard. Some guys are driving over the head. Some veterans, I think, are driving over their head a little bit.
Our guys are working like we're behind the competition right now. That's how hard they're working to try and make our cars better and better and better.
I think (Tony Stewart) is clearly the one we're going to be chasing, ... That team has figured out something that has made them pretty good at these places.
I was just loose all day, ... I thought I might have too much rear spring for it and it kind of took a dive for life and put some rubbers in the left-rear spring and put some wedge in it for that last run and it just killed my car.
He's a tough customer. He runs really well. He's a smart race car driver. He thinks. He executes. They're going to be very hard to beat.
The paint scheme is awesome, ... The guys in the shop were pretty excited about it and that says a lot. We won last year's race in a special paint scheme with the 'Flash' car, so it would be pretty cool get a win this year in the 'PRISM' car.
He just ran into the back of me and turned me into the fence. It's a little bit of a give-and-take game out there. If you get a run on somebody down the straightaway, you can't just run into the back of them because you are faster than them.
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.
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.
The lap was absolutely perfect. Down in Turns 3 and 4 is where I got all my speed. I just got right back to the gas earlier than I ever have. When you have a perfect car, it's easy to drive a fast lap.
I really enjoy running the Busch car. I have a lot of fun with it, and the more seat time I can get, the better. I hate it when there is a race going on and I'm not out there in it.
