Last year in the spring it was an alternator belt that broke when we were leading that took us out of contention, and then in the fall last year we were leading at the end before fuel strategy cost us the win. But Richmond is a terrific racetrack.
I was very surprised that it got that personal. With the way that everything came about, looking back on it, maybe I could have done it a different way. But I thought the best approach was to vilify them early on. That way they would get their sponsors lined up (so I could leave at the end of 2005).
Martin said. ''That's the way it looks today. It's a real tight time right now filling Cup seats for '06. I haven't seen it like this in a long time. I think that '07 will be much more free. Somehow or another, everyone in the business was committed for '06.
I said it earlier this year, I think you can have one 'mulligan' (and still win the championship). But this has been two for (Kurt) Busch, I don't think he can still win the championship.
Roger told me to stand on the right pedal, turn left and go fast. He doesn't want me to do anything different. Just race hard, race smart.
Frankly, I hope it does. They've run it all year long. It's been a matter of time before things were revealed.
He checked up on the straightaway. I had no place else to go.
He likes to talk a lot. We like to race.
He is really coming together quicker than I thought. He was pretty stout and I am pretty proud of him. He competed with the best of the best. He did it in Vegas, of all places.
Guess we're even with the 17 car. We'd gotten around him. He bumped me up the track. We came in and got four fresh tires there at the end, but we were just so darn loose that we couldn't use them to our advantage.
Guess we're even with the 17 car. We'd gotten around him for seventh. He bumped me up the track and we fell back.
We're independent teams, but we want to beat each other. Unfortunately, we were a little too loose in cool air and we just couldn't get a handle on it.
You just have to make sure you do things as close to normal as you can and not get too excited because it is 10 races. If you don't get off to a great start it's not the end of it, but you're working from behind the whole time and it's much harder to do that.
Today's Friday and I'm fast. I don't know what to say. Usually, I'm 15th or so.
