Like I said, we're only off a bit, ... But it's so hard to break through that last bit. The No. 24 team has always been really good at it with all the championships and race wins he's had.
catch chooses coming dominating factor final hard hot people running saving seen streak team teams testing tests three
I think one big factor is testing and when a team chooses to test. We have been saving our test sessions for the final ten. We have three more tests coming up.its hard to know why you go from dominating to running tenth. But we have seen it a lot this year. Teams get on a hot streak and then people catch up.

I was slowly catching Matt before that last caution. 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.

We didn't get off to a good start last year and we almost won it, ... We'll just have to work hard and see what happens.
bill efficient extremely hard period physical practice practiced practicing successful teams time
There is a way to practice hard and be physical without pads. You can still be a physical football team and be efficient in practice without pads. The 49ers practiced like that for a long period of time in the 1980s under Bill Walsh and were extremely successful when all the other teams were practicing in pads.

It's been a tough week for us. I wish Chad was here, I know he is kicking the TV set in right now, so bummed out. His hard work got this team to where it is.
advantage air board builds cooler cooling definitely dropping engine hard helped power qualified runs track
The air temperature dropping and the track cooling down helps. Also the air that runs through the engine is a lot cooler so it builds more power and more speed. There definitely was some advantage to going later. It's hard to really tell how much. We were 8th or 9th on the board during practice, and then qualified 3rd. So I think it helped some.
days enjoy great hard plan spot
It's a hard spot to find, but when you do it great things happen. It's typically short-lived. You've got to enjoy it while it's there. You can never plan on when it's going to come or go. You just try to enjoy the days while it's there.

aggressive best car driving eyes guy handling hard hung led moves pace race smart sure worked
I just really slowed down the pace of the race in my eyes from what I was doing, made sure that I made smart moves that wouldn't have hung me out of the draft. I didn't try as hard to be the guy that led the most laps, made the most aggressive moves. I worked on the handling of our race car so at the end of the race we had the best driving car.

I don't really have any complaints with how he (Stewart) raced me. The time he got me, it was just short-track racing. There was really hard racing out there, but I had a fading car, and I don't have any hard feelings.
