I'm a little older now. I've aged pretty quick these past few months.
Now we have to go and attack each race for a win. We have to go to Dover and expect to win and try and build our points back up.
New Hampshire is key to getting a good start,
Obviously this wasn't the end result we were looking for, ... We were in position for a great finish at Dover, a track that hasn't always been our best, but unfortunate circumstances lined up against us again.
The crew gave me great equipment to drive. I'm real proud of this effort. It's a race leading up to the Chase. We have to go and we need consistent finishes, so I'm happy.
The coolest thing is when you come to a race ... when you come and see it live and you're there and you get the sound and you get the feel and then the smell,
We definitely had great times together. Biffle and I grew up running trucks together. It's a great relationship and not just one race will tear it apart.
We don't know what 2006 has in store. Right now, it's time for this team to shine and hopefully back up our championship that we won last year.
It's just the same old deal, you go race your car,
It seems the young Jedi has done well. He learns quick - he's putting all his knowledge from his own team and what I've given him to work with.
It's going to be tough driving down the front straightaway, looking at the sun for a while, but that's the direction of our sport. And that's tough. If we start the race at 8 o'clock, it would be 11 p.m. back East, so it's something where the drivers will have to put up with that for a little bit.
It's been a tough few weeks with running into SAFER barriers, luckily, and researching with NASCAR what type of G-force my body's been through, ... You just need time to repair, to rebuild and to re-gather yourself, and next week something else would happen. And so this is a great taste of victory. It's very satisfying.
It's great to have the chance to practice under the lights, especially when both of our races are here at night.
There's a 26-race regular season where you can bring the intensity of the final 10 into every week, and that will burn you out pretty quick,
