absolutely drive earlier easy fast gas lap perfect turns
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.
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.
concerned crashed definitely fast fuel hard last situation small tire totally worked year
If they had the tire situation totally worked out, we wouldn't have to use the small fuel cells. I am concerned because I crashed hard there last year and I definitely don't want to do that again. The place is really fast and you don't want to have any problems. The most important thing is being safe.
definitely easily faster ryan
We definitely had the faster car. I just didn't want to see those cautions in the end. I could have got Ryan so easily in the end.
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.
car fast good lap leave ourselves switch time trim
We hadn't been that good. I hadn't been real comfortable in the car and we didn't leave ourselves enough time to switch to qualifying trim and just was kind of disorganized and didn't get a good fast lap in (during practice).
blows car fastest happen hits might tire
The 9 car is the fastest car here. If something doesn't happen to his car or he blows the right-front tire and hits the fence, then he might be the car to beat.
bottom car faster hard protecting pushed
I could've pushed him out of the way, but that's not the way I want to get wins. He was protecting the bottom. His car was really slow. We were way faster than he was, and it's just tough. This place is hard to pass. Protecting the bottom - that's what you've got to do here in Bristol.
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.
loose lost points
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 exactly heard sat secondhand
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.
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.
