again career experience highlight hopefully media past quite week
Quite an experience (this past week of media frenzy). It was the highlight of my career and hopefully I can experience it again some day.
cars choose five nobody race says tear win
The thing I don't like, ... is the five Roush cars can go on a tear and nobody says anything, then we go out and win a race and so we've got to be cheating. It does get frustrating, but I choose to take it as a compliment.
aggressive care caused mistakes sit today
I've been aggressive before and made some mistakes that caused wrecks. Today I just wanted to sit and ride, and take care of things.
car drive knew outside push
That was so much fun. I knew if I could get to his outside and get around him I knew the car was going to drive good. I just didn't want to push the issue. Then they had that green-white-checker at the end.
car hit points practice strong
That was a pretty strong lap, ... In practice the car was a little looser. I hit all the same points and did all the same things but we just couldn't get it.
car driving drove great hard lap smooth worked
My car has been driving great all day long, I drove a smooth hard lap and everything worked out.
car cars contact potential track
Martinsville is a place where contact is going to come into play, and tempers will be high, ... It's a track where you can never get away from a lapped car or the cars you're racing, so the potential is there to have contact.
care figure keeps wish
I wish I knew. But to be honest, I don't care if I ever figure it out as long as it keeps going like this.
cars final last nervous vulnerable worrying year
I think last year we were all nervous about it and worrying about the cars in the final 10 and how vulnerable they are and how much is on the line,
car great last needed
From the first lap, the car was right on the money, and off we went. We had great stops, and it was really what we needed after last week.
assistant bunch carried coach football great individual sports
Football is such a team sport, so no one individual does it. No one coach or no one assistant coach or no one player, it's a great team sport, so I don't get carried away with a bunch of accolades.
ball career greatest operate player sacrifice season sit
With a player who has had the career of Brett Favre, one of the greatest quarterbacks to play the game, I don't think you would ever sit him for a ball game, ... It's a long season and there are opportunities to put a young player in and still not sacrifice being efficient. As long as Rodgers is able to operate the offense, there are going to be opportunities down the road.
cars drive fun happy jobs race races three
Oh, no, oh, no. I feel very good, and I'm very happy with the race team. We've all been doing our jobs and having fun in the process, but it's a long season. We're only three races into it. I know our cars can be better. They can be faster, they can drive a little better.
car corner given tough track transition
It really is a tough track for us. The entries to the corner have really given me some problems. We just can't get our car into the corner right. The transition is pretty abrupt.
