chad chiefs crew deal fine flirting gray hard knowing massage sleep
Crew chiefs try to find advantages. It's a deal where you try to massage the gray areas. We're all flirting with that fine line. I sleep well knowing that Chad is working hard to get me an advantage.
believe bottom bought catching hard knew last matt protecting race slowly stayed
I was slowly catching Matt before that last caution. I think we could have got up there to race with him but, if it stayed green, I believe Matt had it in the bag. Then we got that last yellow. I thought long and hard about what I would do if I was protecting the lead. I knew I wanted to be on the outside. I faked kind of to the bottom and he kind of bought it.
caution confused hard maybe race strategy
I was a little confused too. But maybe his strategy was to race the two contenders hard and maybe the caution would come out in the process.
amazing clocks eight hard love loves seven talking variety
He's been talking to me for seven or eight years about having an auction, but when you love something like he loves this business, it's really hard to let go. This is an amazing collection. It would take someone 10 years to get the variety of clocks that are here.
hard
I know how hard they've been working for a win.
almost chase couple downhill fighting good hard hitting last sort starts weeks won work year
If you're hitting your stride, you're all about the Chase starting. If you're downhill fighting your way up, you'd want a couple of weeks before the Chase starts so you can sort out your own stuff. We didn't get off to a good start last year and almost won it so we'll just have to work hard and see what happens.
cars chief comments crew defensive hard team thrown view worked
I kind of view it as jealousy, and he doesn't have a crew chief in there working hard enough to make his cars as good. This team has worked too hard to even have those kind of comments thrown at them, and I'm going to be very defensive over it.
accept areas came car chief crew drive gray hard looked mind team work worked
The drivers, we just get in and drive the cars. I do know that the team and crew chief are going to work as hard as they can to work the gray areas, and with that in mind gray areas were looked at and worked over and when the car came back the template didn't fit. So, Chad, the team, myself will accept what happened.

We went back in the spring for the Advance Auto Parts 500, and all the emotions came back,
We got some sacks, and we got some turnovers.

Another person I'm going to be thinking of is Brian Vickers, ... The plane crash was on his birthday, of all things.

Race practice was really good, ... We weren't overly excited about our qualifying runs. So, we made some good adjustments and we will be fine.

As the day wears on and gets into the evening, we'll try to hone in some new things and hopefully find some speed.
