cup lap last
If this is the Cup race, that's the last lap and that's what going on, it's going to be a different outcome, I can tell you that.
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).
fight good lap second solid suffer
It was unfortunate. (The car) got from under us in the second lap. It would have been a good solid lap for the race, but now we're going to suffer really bad. It's going to be a fight that's all there is to it.
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.
cars clear good lap tough winning
It was clear we had a winning car. Some of the lapped cars were being tough to pass. I put them down a lap early. Our car was so good, and our car was still really good (when he crashed).
laps race tires
It would have been a different race if we could have pitted for tires with 16 laps to go, but that just didn't happen,
came finished form goes laps led race ran solid strong team
This is what we need to do. It's championship form right here. We wanted to win, but we came here and led a lot of laps and ran real strong and finished second. It just goes to show how solid this race team is.
couple decided imagination instinct laps run trusted wrong
They tell me it's my imagination and that there was nothing wrong with (the tires), so I decided to run a couple of laps and I should have trusted my first instinct and pitted.
came caution closing felt passed running
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.
car chance good grip second taking ton track
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.
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.
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.
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.
dinners finishing five points steak third top
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.
