I'm very happy with everything (my team) got done on the race car, and it was a good, clean lap. ? It is nice to get back to the track and perform well after a bad weekend like we had a Bristol.

bad change deliver feels good mistake nice perform practice strong track weekend
It's nice to get back to the track and perform well after a bad weekend like we had at Bristol. We didn't change a thing. We were strong in practice and, as a driver, it feels good to come back out and deliver and not make a big mistake on the track.
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.
accepting cleared days few followed gone happy inspection last people time understanding week won
You know, there's nothing I can do about it, so I'm accepting it. I'm happy to see that as these last few days have gone by, a lot of people are understanding that it was a qualifying infraction, and there was a whole week that followed ... that we then cleared inspection and won the race. It's time to look ahead.

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.

There's too much riding on these races to do something stupid, ... Everybody will race hard, but we all know what's at stake in these last four races.

I'm proud of our team. Starting in the inside is a big advantage. We will get a great pit selection so we have that benefit to look forward to as well.
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.
proud team
I'm very proud of what the team has done today. We've been through a lot.

I'm very pleased with it. The guys went back and worked on the car and found some things to pick up some speed. So I am very happy with that.
