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).
It was clear that we had a winning car. When all you have to do is lift on the gas pedal and elect not to run into the car in front of you on the straightaway, that's pretty unforgivable. You've got to have a little bit of respect for the other drivers you're racing with, and Kurt hasn't shown respect.
It was clear that we had a winning car.
The cars that we were winning with in the beginning of the season really are similar to what we have now,
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.
It's neat for Kyle to win, ... I think you'd have sympathy for anybody if you put yourself in that situation and got taken out of the race car. But I have absolutely no information about what was going on.
Vegas is definitely a place where we can win. We had a good run here last year, and I feel even more confident about the car we're taking this time. We're taking the car that we raced in California two weeks ago, and it was obviously a good car.
Last year was the best Father's Day ever, 1,000th win for Ford and to have my daughter there for her first victory lane. I'm not sure how to top that, but hopefully something spectacular will happen. Michigan is one of my favorite tracks; it's a big fast place and has lots of room to race. There is always a lot of strategy going on. Fuel mileage and pit stops are very important.
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.
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.
