I made some moves that lost some momentum trying to win the race.
I'm sure I'm not going to be the sweetest and nicest person to work with in that car. Every moment is going to be intense.
I'm sure he didn't mean to do it and all that stuff, but I wasn't happy about it. I showed it to him after the race. I like racing with Matt ... that stuff rarely happens with him. But I'm going to give it back what he gives to me.
I had no idea what was going to happen. I was just so angry that I just wanted to get out of the car as fast as I could.
I never got close enough to his bumper to find out how good he was. . . . He knows how to get around this place good. He was smooth and fast and made some great moves.
The retirement package that was available for my almost 32 years of employment will vanish before many others and myself are eligible to receive it, if this new plan is implemented.
This is a very competitive sport, and things aren't going to go your way every year. But we are capable of so much more, and we'll use these next 10 races to try to get back to that level.
Once I get focused on something that's the only thing I focus on. That can be good or bad in life, but in racing, it's typically pretty good.
The Navy views this as an outrageous criminal act that is taken very seriously.
At the end of the race, you are very aware of the position of the guys you are battling with in the points. You know that passing one more car may cut the points a driver gains on you, or even add a few more points separation to those behind you.
I'm going to put the blame on both of us there. I dove underneath and got a little tight, and he didn't want to give it up, either.
I'm going to take part blame on that, but I think Tony needs to take part of it as well.
I'm not going to count on anything until we go through a few more of these weeks, and hopefully we can get some top-fives, top-10s out of those as well.
I'm not exactly sure what he meant by that. I need to ask him about it.
