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.
anybody hope
If anybody can make it clean, I don't know who it will be. I hope it's us.
caught hope year
This year is about being consistent, ... There aren't any secrets. You just get what you can and hope you don't get caught up in any crashes.
drives everybody hopefully lose nervous
There is so much you can lose there. I think everybody is real nervous about Talladega and hopefully everybody drives that way,
anybody department draws everybody fans football gains hit hope involved miles running safety theater walking wrecks
It's part of our sport. It's kind of like going to a football game, and you hope you see a big hit or a big tackle. It's part of the theater that's involved with our sport; it's part of what draws fans in. If we were out there in go-karts running 10 miles an hour, they wouldn't be watching. It's part of the risk. Of course, I don't want anybody to crash, I don't want to crash, but we've made a lot of gains in the safety department so that we are having wrecks and everybody is walking away.

It's going to be quite a loss not to have Chad here, but he's done a great job of training us all and hopefully we can be out on the track and perform as if he were here.
anticipate change continues cup far forward four hope learned lessons looking taught year
With my four years in Cup so far, each year had . . . a different set of pressures. I'm looking forward to it this year. I don't anticipate it to be the same. It just continues to change and intensify each year. I just hope that all the lessons I've learned so far have taught me enough that I can get it done.
anybody hope
I hope it's us. If anybody can make it clean, they'll probably be the champion.
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.
tough wind
The wind was really swirling. It was tough at times.
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.
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.
