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.
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.
competing front great mark reason time wins
If you take a look at Mark Martin, he's been in the sport for a long time and at his age, the reason he's up front competing for wins and championships like he does is because he's in great shape,
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.
