bit finally five four gas hit middle time tires tony trying
There was a little bit (of contact) with Tony trying to get by me. One time in the middle of (turns) 3 and 4, I think he hit me four or five times and I couldn't get any gas because my tires were off the ground. That's when he finally got by me on the inside.
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.
close everybody five next race shocked stress
I'm shocked just like everybody else just how close the championship race is and I think that over the next five it's only going to be more interesting, more aggressive, more stress and pressure, ... It's going to be right down to the very end, I think.
five four hit last leading lost momentum near needed points races reason stride top
Momentum and leading the points would be the same thing, ... Last year, we were near the top and lost the momentum. We didn't lead the points going into (the playoff), and the reason was that we weren't where we needed to be. We were doing everything we could, but we really hit our stride four or five races in.
five offense pro ran university various visited
The other thing was that when I was at the University of Miami, we ran a pro-style offense and defense. I started each year by going to a pro training camp, I visited with various pro coaches, and I did this for five years.
best five top
We're doing the best we can (without Chad) and, hopefully, we can come out of here with another top five and take it from there.
clean decisions eight happen last lost mistakes racetrack start stay troubles weird year
We lost last year by eight points, and we had some troubles at the start of the Chase, ... This year, hopefully, we'll make the right decisions and not have any weird things happen to us, and I won't make any mistakes on the racetrack and stay clean throughout.

The wind was really swirling. It was tough at times.

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.

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.
fit
Curling doesn't make you fit, ... but you have to be fit to curl.
develop figure teams
was able to develop things before other teams have been able to figure it out.
basis putting reason scientific
There's no scientific basis or reason for putting it in there, ... I don't think it should have been included.

We're definitely going to utilize Robbie in every aspect,
