best good happy looked performance positive
We're just happy to we have some things that have been positive and going our way. We haven't looked like we've had the best performance out there but we have had some good situations.
consistency eight fantastic guys last perform races rookies seeing seen strong together trend win
I think from what I've seen so far, the guys are doing a fantastic job. We've just been seeing this trend more and more over the last six, eight years of rookies just being able to come in and perform well, win races and put consistency together and also come in with strong race teams.
awkward blaming caught field kept overall performance poorly
I'm not blaming anybody, but the overall performance was lacking. We were qualifying poorly and that put us back in the field where we keep getting caught up in trouble. A lot of awkward things kept happening.
either everywhere happen performed stink
We just haven't performed this year. We're pathetic. Everywhere we go, we either stink or we're good. So I don't know what will happen at Richmond.
beat closing guy laps performance record track whether
I think with our track record here at Daytona, with the performance that we've got going for us already this week, I'd like to think that we're one of the favorites. But whether we're the guy to beat or not, we'll find out in the closing laps of the 500.
believe blame lack nobody percent performance year
I believe 100 percent in Robbie Loomis and in his abilities. When we're on, there's nobody better, and because of our lack of performance this year I really don't think that, you know, Robbie should be put to blame for that.
belong chase finish last perform weekend
Honestly, if we perform this weekend like we have the last few, we don't belong in the Chase anyway. You know, all we're going to do is go out there and finish 10th in the points.
car good road short tony tracks true
Tony is a true American racer. You can put him in any car on any track, and he'll be fast. He's good on the short tracks, the intermediate tracks, the restrictor-plate tracks and the road courses.
Years like that make you hungrier, make you humble. You have no idea how disappointing it was.
bit criticism critics-and-criticism everybody four ourselves recognize understand won
Years like that make you hungrier, make you humble. The criticism has come a little bit stronger, come more often. I understand why. We've won four championships, a lot of races. We've prided ourselves on being competitive every year. When we're not, we recognize as well as everybody we're having an off year.
against focused good stack stuff
We're focused on our program, making our stuff as good as we can make it and then we'll find out how we stack up against the competition.
adjustment cars data gives learning trying types whether works
We're still not where we need to be on these types of tracks, but it's a learning process. We're learning from everything we're trying with the cars -- whether it works or not. Not every adjustment we make will work, but it gives us more data to make better decisions.
built change exciting finish guy last points possible races structured system weekend win
We've got a points system that's built on consistency, and then we change how it's structured to make this exciting 10-race stretch, but then it's still about consistency. The guy could finish top-five every weekend in those last 10 races and still win that championship. It's very possible that it could happen.
again means paid pay somebody somewhere
To pay somebody back means you're probably going to get paid back again somewhere down the road.
