We're greedy and we don't like to finish second.
Our chances are slim to none. There's always a chance several guys will have problems. But we decided to go for broke, try to win races and not care about anything else.
I think the car of the future is great from a safety aspect. I think it's the ugliest thing I've ever seen. They have to make it look better.
I thought we had the best car, but anytime you have cautions, it gives an opportunity to the guys behind you to get into the back bumper, ... It would have been nice to not see the cautions. We were just fortunate to have a car that went on restarts and worked on long runs.
I think when he died it got us into so many different areas of the world that people started to recognize NASCAR. And then it stayed in the mainstream of the press and the people and things just kind of took off from there. The sport was growing and with the massive outlets the media had, when everything happened with his death, I think it just continued after that.
I think when everybody had to start thinking for themselves, figure out when it was time to change it for themselves, it wasn't -- there wasn't that reassuring voice there and that experience there to tell them that it was OK to change something, that we need to go forward. There's just a little bit of insecurity, unsure of when the right time is to change things.
I think it's only fair to the parties involved to make a decision sooner, rather than later and string everything along.
I think it is going to be cool to drive the No. 47 KISS Ray-Sat Silverado at Richmond, ... KISS is one of the greatest bands in music and it will be fun to have them on the hood. The truck race at Richmond is always exciting. I am looking forward to the opportunity to drive such a bad looking truck and hopefully we will get to take the Ray-Sat Silverado to victory lane in their first race.
NASCAR should pay for the development of the car of the future.
I think he had his hand in a lot of things. When things needed to be changed, when he told them to change it, they would change it.
It couldn't be more fitting to have it go this way. It's been tough, but we got to keep doing what were doing. That's what Johnny would want us to do, and that's what we're going to do.
I think I would have whooped Kurt Busch before now. Obviously, he forgot about getting punched in his nose last time from Jimmy Spencer.
I thought I had the wreck cleared, and (Brian Vickers) popped left and I hit (Newman), ... My spotter never said nothing, so I wrecked.
We've kind of agreed to sit down in April and just kind of evaluate where things are.
