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.
build equivalent hitting home instantly momentum race run throwing
It's the equivalent of hitting a home run in your first at-bat or throwing for a touchdown with your first pass. This race can instantly build momentum for your team.
heading momentum
I think we're getting some momentum back and heading in the right direction.

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.

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.

There's no scientific basis or reason for putting it in there, ... I don't think it should have been included.
