losing
That was a lot of fun, but I know how aggravating losing like that can be.
bad enamored few great losing offset pass plays run
Like I always say, it's not how many great plays you make; it's how few bad ones you make. I know fans, and even some losing coaches, are enamored with long pass completions or the great run plays, but that doesn't offset the interception or the fumble.
almost losing rather saw solid trouble winning
We're doing what we need to do, ... It's almost about not losing it rather than winning it at this point. We saw some hopefuls and contenders had trouble in New Hampshire, and I think that's the key. We got off to a good, solid start.
car dominant job losing mistakes tear tony underneath won
I really feel this championship is about not losing it. Tony (Stewart) had the dominant car tonight. If it didn't get out from underneath him, he probably would have won the race, and it would be a different story. We've just got to do our job and not make any more mistakes - especially on my part - and not tear the car up or do anything stupid.

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.
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.
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.
