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.
fence gets problem running second side tony
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.
fence gets guys problem running soon tony
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.
adjusted car coast coming drive duty everybody exciting folks great guard gulf guys heck helping job kyle loose national prayers race soldiers spring thinking thoughts tight time tonight win
Well, it's really important. We wanted to win here tonight, but Kyle got a great restart there. Congratulations to Kyle Busch and that whole Hendrick team. Those guys have been coming on a win for a long time and it's exciting for your first win. It was just a great job by the guys in the pits. We put spring rubbers in and adjusted the heck out of that race car tonight - from tight to loose to just can't drive it. Our thoughts and prayers are with everybody in the gulf coast and all the National Guard folks down there helping everybody. I know there were a lot of soldiers called to duty to go down there and we're just thinking about all of them.
beat bit crashed earlier ends feeling five flawless gets happens hazard hopes phoenix position puts run saying season spots tony win
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.
beat cars felt running team tonight
I feel awesome, ... I think that before tonight I felt like we were the team to beat and I still do. We've got so much momentum. Our cars are running fast. I really feel like we are the team to beat.
behind caught clear competition couple dominating far races teams tony winning wins
The competition has caught up. It's clear that Tony Stewart and all those teams -- which keep in mind, they were all right there, second, third, fourth, when I was winning those races -- so they are the ones kind of getting a couple of the wins and we are right behind them. So we are not that far off. We're just not dominating like we were.
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.
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.
below four front guys looking problem
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.
changed everybody last year
Everybody this year is like, 'Man, what's changed between last year and this year?' ... Nothing.
