I'll do a little prayer here and there if I feel the need to.
I'm sad to see Robbie leave. For him, it was time for a change and I'm happy he's found the right fit.
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.
They've got to do what they've got to do. I've always done it that way. We led the most laps, but when it came time to get the win, they did everything they could.
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.
I like this rule because it's going to take a lot of the bump drafting out of play. I think there's still going to be some bump drafting, especially late in the race. But I think it will make guys have to think a little bit more about how they pass. That goes back to the type of drafting I learned early on. We used the air to push the cars around instead of the bumpers. I like that type of drafting, and I'm curious to see how we'll manage it.
He's tough here, there's no doubt about it. When I look at guys that run good here, I put him as one of the top guys.
I don't know how you can just pick one guy, there's strong cars out here. I felt like (Sadler) was really strong in that first race. I know that Tony and Junior and Jimmie and those guys who weren't in our race are going to be strong.
I don't know if we had to go win a championship in February, if that was the final event, that we'd be ready for that. But I really believe just in the last 10 races of last year, what I saw in Steve was unbelievable, and that really has me excited about getting this season started.
I don't know how many hundredths of a second we are missing it by, but I'm just really happy now.
