We just came on at the right time. We didn't have the best car, but we had the best car when it counted.
We got to Lap 16 and I thought we were going to be OK. The first caution came and then two more. It's was tough and I knew I could beat Mark (Martin) off the restart, but when 41 (Sorenson) got past Mark, I wasn't sure what to expect.
We have talked. I know the ball is pretty much on that side.
We live that from the day that it happened until right now. Everybody wants to forget, but you can't. You go out and try to do the best you can and carry the legacy forward.
Good day for us, but I hate to see Kurt Busch win. He's a big whiner. But what do I know?
He and I have committed to moving forward together in fulfilling our current agreement, which runs through 2006, and we anticipate being together for many years beyond that. Our focus is on continuing to improve our performance this year and being a championship contender in 2006.
You can only learn so much from testing, and after a while you need times like this to make sure you're going in the right direction. It's really when you get in the action with cars around you that you know it's time to go racing again. All we can do is hope we're ready. Honestly, I've never felt as prepared for a season as I do this year.
The truck was really fast, we just couldn't get a long enough green flag run there toward the end to get a good run on Todd and Skinner. But we were fast. Randy Goss, David Dollar and everyone on the No. 47 team and at Morgan Dollar gave me an awesome truck to drive tonight. We ran out of time to get back up there and race them for win.
That's exactly the reason I'm leaving RCR because you've got those punk-ass kids coming up. They've got no respect for what they do in this sport and they've had everything fed to them with a spoon.
To be honest with you, I walked into media day (in February at Daytona), and there were two people standing in line to conduct interviews, so from day one of this year, everybody’s kind of written us off.
Just a huge credit goes to the GM Goodwrench team and all my teammates that went before me. It's been a good weekend for us so far and hopefully we can put it all together tomorrow night.
We've got a third, first and a pole; I don't think you could ask for much more than that. Hopefully we can finish it off [tonight].
This Reese's Chevrolet was downright awesome.
I think racing in Mexico will prove to be a great move for our sport in the future. The reaction we received from the fans last year was outstanding. The fans were unbelievable, and I expect the same reaction this year.
