biggest coming confidence daytona definitely racing team top
The biggest thing coming out of Daytona is the confidence this team has that we can go out there and perform. I definitely feel that we'll be competitive and racing for a top five.

I feel very good where we are. There's still a lot of racing left, a lot of the year ahead of us still for the championship, and that's what our eyes are on.

The thing I love about off-road racing is the pride in how abusive it is.
competition racing world
The competition in today's world of racing is so tough.

I grew up racing off-road trucks. They were on road courses with jumps. I made a name for myself in that style of racing.

We've got a lot of racing left, but when we're winning at places we're not supposed to, you better watch out.

blast complaints drove earlier fading five found four gas ground hit inside kept laps line outside passed short surprised three time track trying wheels worked
I was fading so I don't really have any complaints with the way that he raced me. I passed him two or three times earlier in the day and found another line and worked my way around the outside of him. I was a little surprised that he continually drove it in and kept trying to blast me in the center. I think he probably hit me for four or five laps and the time that he got by me, he really had my wheels off the ground and I couldn't get in the gas and he got inside of me and from there drove on and drove away from me. This is short track racing.
ahead block brian came car caution dead lane loose moved outside saw sideways throughout
I was working with Brian throughout the race. His car was probably the only one that was really loose out there. That thing was dead sideways at times. Once I got to his outside, I saw the outside lane coming. I moved up to block it and got ahead of him right when the caution came out.
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.
blast drove ground kept surprised time trying wheels
I was little surprised that he just continually drove in and kept trying to blast me in the center. The time that he got by me, he really had my wheels off the ground and I couldn't get to the gas.
attention drawn fans guess ironic might questions reactions
I think if there weren't so many questions on it, you might get some more reactions on the track. You might see payback. With all the attention drawn to it, no one's going to make a mistake. I guess the fans are being shorted in an ironic way.
