It was a good race for us. We got behind here the first four races and we just needed to have a good run. We put ourselves in the position to win and we just came up one spot short.
First off, it's a great way to get some race practice in before qualifying and the big one the next weekend,
I told him, I didn't have to prepare for anything like a normal rookie, because I never prepared, never had to think about it. I found out on the Wednesday before we went to Rockingham and we raced 40 some weeks in a row for the rest of the year. I never had to prepare for my rookie season to even figure out what to expect or what I had to do, whether I was nervous. I didn't know how much money I was making. I didn't know how many races I had to go to, I didn't have a contract. I didn't care.
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 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.
On any given day, I don't think there's anybody who can outdrive me. That's the mind set I have going into every race.
As a race car driver, driving is the easy part. The hard part is containing the emotions on the race track.
Dale Earnhardt was the best race car driver there will ever be in NASCAR. I would hope you don't expect me to replace him because nobody ever will.
We just have to keep our heads down and keep doing everything that we've been doing. This isn't a bunch of guys that are just going to go out and brag We're going to race every week like we have never won a race before. That's the kind of determination that you need when you are going to do this stuff.
The car needed to be loosened up and Shane has been here for a lot of races and knows what he's doing.
I knew if I could get up his rear bumper I had a chance. I knew where I wanted to be but I couldn't get there.
I knew if I could get to his bumper, I had a great chance. I just never could get all the way there. I hate it because we had a great car.
Everyone has been teasing me, 'Well, you definitely have the prettiest car here.'
Everybody's just out there knowing sooner or later a tire's going to pop, ... It's pretty disgusting, and pretty embarrassing for our sport.
