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.
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.
I know the 24 came down and kind of gave me a door slam down the backstretch.
I like racing at Michigan, ... There's a lot of room to race and we seem to do well there.
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.
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.
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.
It was hard to tell a lot of difference between the two cars. The balance seems really good on it, and I'm real happy with it so far.
They've got their work cut out for them if they're going to get under my skin. You can clearly see guys, the minute they get upset about something or get something in their head, they go crazy. There are two guys in the Chase like that. It's funny to see.
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.
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.
I'm very surprised about his performance. He has done a very good job.
I've had some success there in all three NASCAR Series and we're taking the car that we won with in the spring,
