momentum weekend
We had momentum. We've had momentum all weekend long.
anybody close fast guys jumping likes nascar problem race racing talented time top type watch
Those guys are very talented. You can watch them and see how talented they are. Anybody that talented and likes going fast and doesn't have a problem racing close and jumping on top of each other just about wouldn't have a problem with any other type of racing. If he wanted to race NASCAR and he put in the time and effort, I don't see why he couldn't.
car felt glad great stuck year
It did for us. We've been right there all year long. We felt like we had a great car with the Charger and I'm glad we stuck with it.
best bruce car direction late run second throughout trip turn
Trip Bruce made two adjustments right at the end and they were the right adjustments. He made the car turn the best it had throughout the whole race. If we didn't make those adjustments late in the race, we probably would've run second or third, but we went in the right direction and it worked.
kenny looking setting together
I got together with Kenny and started working with the new team, setting goals, and looking at what I did wrong.
capitalize
We've got to capitalize while we do have this and, hopefully, keep it going all season.
people reason ruin run
Dale Jarrett, when he got back at Newman, that's just the way you've got to do it. If people are going to run you over for no reason and think they're going to get away with it, you just go out there and ruin their day, too.
cars difference early great hit preparing race setup team track
The big difference is we've hit on a setup early in the season. The team is preparing great race cars. I'm comfortable in there. I've never had cars that I got to the track with and been comfortable with.
crashes forced pathetic
It was really a pathetic year. Some of the things I did some of the crashes I was in I didn't need to be in. I forced the issue.
car driving easy fell spin tires took
It took us a little time; we fell back early. We were working on getting the car driving a little better, but the tires fell off real quick. It was very easy to spin your tires.
change definitely last learned momentum quick tough year
We're got some momentum right now. Things can change so quick in this sport. Last year we had a tough year, and I learned a lot. But we're definitely on a high.
coming forward four hurt looking michigan racetrack run turn
We usually run well at Michigan ... I used the whole racetrack coming off turn four and that probably hurt us a little bit. I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
atlanta favorite race
Atlanta is one of my favorite race tracks, and it always has been.
giving last mark
As Mark was reeling me in, I was doing all I could to go fast. I was giving about all I had those last 30 laps.
