The whole team is really excited about going to Dover this weekend, ... We feel strong about another top-five finish and possibly a win. You never know what could happen with tires and pit stops, but we definitely feel confident about a top five.
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.
I can't say what happened because we didn't have a failure all year.
I'd like to leave here with a 30 point lead in the standings, ... This is a big race for us. With Talladega coming up next, you never know what can happen there. So we need a strong run, and I think we'll have one.
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.
That's not too bad considering what happened to us today, ... We just did what we could and that was all we could do. It was a tough day, but we kind of came back from it and finished 13th. The car wasn't as good as it was in the spring, but it was pretty decent. We just couldn't quite get it done.
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.
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.
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.
We weren't going to catch them without a caution flag.
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.
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.
