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.
full series win wire won
Every win I've ever won in this series is like that, full of drama. Right up to the wire you never know.
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.
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.
fast
We're going way too fast here, it's not right.
hope patiently races trying work
I think he?s just patiently trying to hope it will all work out. But if we?re not careful, 10 races will be in and we got 16 races to go and we won?t be in the chase.
chris sitting trying
I?m sitting there trying to feel Chris out, he?s trying to feel me out on how to communicate.
accept chase consistent drivers fans good lucky miss nascar teams
I think fans of those drivers just have to accept the idea that their teams just haven't been very good, very consistent or very lucky this year. It can happen. With only 10 qualifiers, good teams are going to miss the Chase every year. NASCAR will survive.
bit deal deeper dig hard step team trying
We've got to step it up a little bit and we all know that. We're trying hard to do that. It's not a one person deal -- the whole team has got to step up and do more than we ever have and dig deeper than we've ever dug.
positive stay
We're going to stay positive and not let nothing get us down,
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.
happen hope work
You kind of let things happen and you hope for the best. But it's not going to work out like we are right now. If we keep doing what we've been doing, it ain't going to work. So we've got to do something different. What that is, I don't know.
