black coming dodge drive front hopefully lights maybe night operate run stealth
I've always wanted to run a black car, ... They just look cool, especially under the lights for a night race. I like to operate in stealth mode, and maybe they won't see me coming in the black Dodge Charger. Hopefully I can drive right by them to the front of the field.
easily finish great looking maybe played toward win
If everything would have played out right, we would have had a top-five finish or maybe even a win the way it was looking toward the end of the race, ... It easily could have been a great day for us, but we're going to take 16th and not look back.
exactly happen problem problems sure team wild
I'm not sure exactly what the problem was. It was pretty wild because we never have problems like this, but it's going to happen every once in awhile. This team will keep digging.
came car counted good home
It was a good day, ... I didn't have a really good car but we came home where it counted there in the end.
couple good last time weeks
We weren't good the whole time here. We got better as the day went on, and the last couple of weeks haven't been good for us,
car cut front good great pit road screwed tire
We had a great car, we just had that right front go down, ... I just screwed up and got back up there and then screwed up on pit road (speeding). Then we cut a tire down. We had a good car all day, a great car.
beat credit longer seen shot spit tied time
I've been doing this a long time, longer probably than I get credit for. I've been here a long time now, and I've seen a lot of things happen. ... I've been beat up, tied down, shot up, spit out and everything else.
run
It would be for us to run better than we've been running.
coach major
Coach Sampson was a major, major, major part of me signing.
add chase guys laps leading noticed points staying trying
You see it every week. Guys are staying out (on cautions) and leading laps and stuff, trying to get all the points you can if you're in the Chase or not. I've noticed it every week, and it will all add up at the end.
add changes chris expect few might team
I don't expect any changes other than we might add a few people. Chris (Andrews , team director) and I have started to come together.
guys
I don't even know what it is. I like all the guys on the team, I think they like me. It just ain't happening.
bad car chase five good handling last news top
Well, the good news is that we started the Chase out better than we did last year, ... The bad news is that we battled the car all day long. We just couldn't get the handling right. We really wanted to come out of here with a top five or a top ten, but at least we didn't come out with a DNF.
deal gotten last races realize win work
We know how to get into the Chase. It's a whole different deal after you've gotten in to win the championship in the last 10 races than it is in the first 26. We've got some work to do, and we realize that.
