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.
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.
We'll just try to get as many points as we can and hope that Ryan makes a few more wrecks and we can gain some positions,
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.
We need a strong run to rebuild the momentum we have lost in the last few weeks. A win this week would be a great rebound from the points we lost last week, and a victory in Ford's backyard is always something we want.
It's frustrating. It kind of drains you, but I've got to be optimistic about our season. It's unfortunate because this is how we make our living, too. It's a big payday, big PR to come and win a race like California Speedway and lots of points on the line.
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.
Just 10 points a race isn't going to do it, and what are the chances of me finishing second for the next six races? We can only do as good as we can do and can't really worry about the outcome of the 20.
You've got to get the points where you can, ... Talladega and Martinsville are wildcards for us. Does that mean we won't run well at those tracks? No, we can. But we need to get as many points here as possible.
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.
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.
