believe build car earlier great hard hope results team though
Even though we had a great car and great results here in the spring, this team has been working hard to build a new car. We believe it's even better than the car we used here earlier this year, we just hope the results are the same.
american-athlete great
I still think we have a great shot at this championship.
car front good great missed row run season slight tough week
We've had a lot going on this week and it's been a tough season for us. But we've already run good here.the car was great today, we missed it by just that slight amount. But for us right now being on that front row is great.
care great love master might rank season statistic statistics types
Dale was the master at these types of races. I'd love to get the win, but not because of any statistic or record. Statistics are great when it's all said and done, but during the season you really don't care about them or where you might rank on a list.
great
It's been awhile. What a great, great feeling.
great last since
It's been a while since my last win. What a great, great feeling.
car drive fourth good great knew passes race rest rewarding third
It was a very rewarding race and gratifying. I could get up to third or fourth but couldn't make those passes to get the rest of the way. Once we did get up front, the car was flying. To be able to drive from 15th all the way to third or fourth, I knew we had a good one. Once we got out front, we were awesome. I knew we were in great shape.
finish five great happy mean sure taken top
We had a top five that would have been a great finish and it was taken away from us. I'm sure he didn't mean to do it and all that stuff, but I wasn't happy about it.
against certainly decided definitely enjoy everybody faster felt fired great hard holding matt moved position race racing sorry track wreck
We were all racing hard there at the end for position and he was holding everybody up. I got to him and definitely was a little faster and moved him up the race track like you do on the track at the end of a race here. We went down into one and he decided to wreck me instead. It is pretty disappointing. We had a great car. I am sorry that happened. I like racing with Matt, I certainly didn't enjoy racing with him today. I showed him my displeasure. I get fired up too. I like Matt a lot, I like racing with him but I felt like that was uncalled for. We will keep racing hard against him in the future.
avoided bliss fix front good great half mike playing second stuff time toward
There was a lot of stuff going on. We avoided most of it, and then unfortunately there toward the end I couldn't avoid Mike Bliss . We had to fix the right front fender. We had a great car. We really did. We never really got to show it. We got it really good the second half of the race, and the whole time we were playing catch-up.
bumper close fast good great knows smooth
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.
build compete focus outside strong team together trying
We just want to be able to focus on our program, on our people, on what we have to do to be as strong as we can as a team to compete for wins, compete for championships, and build that together without there being too many outside distractions. If we ever say we want to go under the radar, that's what we're trying to do.
cars fast
The Roush cars are really, really fast right now.
both confidence early extremely forward jump last looking next races steve team ton worked
I've worked with Steve for more than 10 years and we already communicate extremely well, both on and off the track. The team has a ton of confidence in his abilities, so we're looking forward to the last 10 races of 2005 and getting an early jump on next year.
