couple finally four learn race three
After three or four years you finally learn how to race 400-mile races. The first couple of years you take too many chances.
cars drive fun happy jobs race races three
Oh, no, oh, no. I feel very good, and I'm very happy with the race team. We've all been doing our jobs and having fun in the process, but it's a long season. We're only three races into it. I know our cars can be better. They can be faster, they can drive a little better.
coaches days heard limiting practiced practices reduction three
I've heard all the coaches complaining about the new CBA rules limiting padded practice. I don't like the reduction to just 15 padded practices during the season. When I coached, we always practiced in pads; and three days a week.
camera days definitely develop four nice photos three until
I didn't own a nice camera until that trip. So you can definitely see my photos develop as the days went by. The first three or four days weren't very good.
companies model three
Two to three years down the road, ... other companies not on a model like Dell's will be in trouble.
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.
across country football road team three tired trip
Three road games. That's a long trip across the country (to Seattle). This was a beat-up football team and a tired football team.
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.
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.
gain incredible needed
incredible for us. A big gain is what we needed to do.
chad home kicking tv
I know right now that Chad is probably kicking his TV in back home (in Charlotte, N.C.).
behind casey clean committed good knew needed ranks run ryan stayed top
I knew I needed to get a good, clean start. I also knew Ryan (Newman) was going to get a run on me and when he went to the top I stayed committed to the bottom. One of my friends from the off-road ranks Casey Mears was behind me and I knew I was in good shape.
deep heart inside knew team
I knew deep down inside my heart that this team could still win.

I'm proud of this race team. These guys continue to work their butts off through adversity, making the best of a bad situation. We almost won another race today. We're doing everything we need to do. We won the Daytona 500 and maybe we'll win the championship.
