Tony has a problem with running you into the fence the second he gets position. We were running side by side, and he started running me into the fence.
Tony has a problem with running guys into the fence as soon as he gets position. I don't know why he would try to run me in the fence.
When your name gets put in a sentence with Jeff Gordon, that's a bid deal. I have a lot of respect for Jeff Gordon.
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.
They are so much fun to drive and I think it's extra experience behind the wheel. It kind of gives you a warm-up for the weekend. For me, it's no pressure - it's kind of a relief to get in the Busch car and run a race. It gets you relaxed for the next day.
It kind of gets in your head about how you're going to end up after this race, ... I don't think we're as good as we were here last time. ... We'll do our best, that's all we can do - and not get down about how we run here. If it is a 15th-place finish, we go on to Dover or wherever else. We might end up with a top-five car, but you never know until the whole race starts.
There at the end, we were running down the 21 (Jeff Burton) and the 60 (Edwards). We passed the 39 (Newman) and were closing in on them pretty good. I felt like I would probably get to the 21 before the end of the race. I don't think I could get to the 60, but then the caution came out.
This track has got a ton of grip right now. It is really, really fast. My car was just really solid. It was a really good lap. I didn't want to try for a second one because you're always taking a chance qualifying here because you are always right on the edge.
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.
We got ourselves into a little hole in Daytona. But I have no doubt this team will turn it around this weekend.
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.
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.
Below me, it's looking grim, ... For four guys in front of you to have a problem is pretty unlikely. For one or two guys, it can happen. Three, yeah, but to have four (or more) guys in front of you have a problem . . . that's a long shot.
Everybody this year is like, 'Man, what's changed between last year and this year?' ... Nothing.
