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.
last
That's the last thing in the world I wanted to do,
break good hard last race team wins
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.
last runs seconds stutter three
When it runs out, you may have a stutter that will last three seconds and then it's empty. When it's over, it's over.
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,
came chad dedication front frustrated last people respect results win year
I think last year at times it was really frustrating and people could see that. But we were frustrated because we weren't getting the results that we wanted. I'll always respect Chad for his dedication and that frustration that came up. He just wanted to win and be up front and win the championship.
adjust bases collect collected consistent cover everybody feeling feet final kurt last races somebody spend tear three wins year
We know that you've got to collect points, ... Kurt (Busch) last year was very consistent and collected the most points. That's everyone's baseline. You go into the final 10, if somebody is on a tear and wins a bunch, everybody is going to have to adjust their game. But going into any series, you want to cover your bases and be solid. . . We'll go to Loudon and get our feet wet. We can spend our first two or three races just feeling things out to see where we need to be.
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.
bottom bought catching hard knew last matt protecting slowly
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.
final last mentally races regardless sure top tough year
Last year was tough at the end. This year we want to make sure that we're mentally able to make it through all 36 races and especially in the final 10, regardless if we're on top of the world or if we're going through a tough time.
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.
almost good hard last start won work year
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.
almost good last start won year
We didn't get off to a good start last year and still almost won it, so we know what can happen.
last race until
It's not over until the last race at Homestead. But it's going to be tough. It's been tough.
