air bit car category daytona doubt fast handling hole lane level ourselves package perform position skill skills takes taking team turn victory
We got ourselves into a little bit of a hole in Daytona but I have no doubt that this team will turn it around this weekend. We're taking a car that's already been to victory lane and we think it's going to perform even better this season. Here it's a whole different skill level and handling package and stuff. It takes probably a different skill set or different category of skills at Daytona -- where you position your car or how the air is and how fast your car is, so it's just a lot different.
bit drivers kurt racing respect shown
The thing about it is you've got to have a little bit of respect for the other drivers you're racing with and Kurt hasn't shown respect.
ahead bit finish gain good guys mode points spot today
We just have to make up points on the 20, ... We made up a little bit on the 48 today and a little bit on the 12, but we've got to finish more than one spot ahead of the 20 to gain anything on him. But those guys are doing a good job. They're in a point's mode and that's what they're doing.
bit car clear drivers elect front gas kurt lift pedal racing respect run shown winning
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.
bit faster game ran run somebody turned
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.
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.
bit changes looser lose style
I like a little bit looser car. So we're able to make changes for a driver's style and I think we're going to lose a lot of that, maybe, in the future.
caution four gambling good missed needed skins top win
We just missed that win by a little bit, ... What we needed to do was get a good top 10 and that's what we did. I think we had the right strategy. I was gambling on a caution flag. If the caution would have come out, we would have had four skins and been able to put it to them.
catch caution sets stay
We weren't going to catch them without a caution flag. We had to stay out because we had used up all of our sets of tires.

coming confident depends front gain passes spots stuff tough towards
We were pretty confident coming I here and we're still confident that we'll be able to make our way towards the front, ... It just depends on what the 20 does. If he passes all his stuff and nothing happens, it's tough when you only two spots in front of him to gain any points.
doubt hole ourselves team turn
We got ourselves into a little hole in Daytona. But I have no doubt this team will turn it around this weekend.

We're going out for steak dinners and we're finishing in the top five and we're third in points and everything's great.
ask except guy kurt left main man mark matt might next time
It was time to reestablish my dominance, ... in NASCAR, as well as in Roush Racing. The way things are going, I might be the only guy left in Roush come next season. I'm the main man in Roush. Ask anybody, except Kurt Busch, Mark Martin, Carl Edwards, and Matt Kenseth.
