We did what we needed to do and I thought it turned out well, ... I just came up a bit short on Jimmie Johnson.
Yeah, a little slicker. I've got it working in the draft now.
It's just that fun atmosphere, working on the car, being with the guys. This is exactly what I needed.
I feel like we're a very good top-10 car, but we really have to work hard and find a unique way to get these top fives.
This is like my dad's race team where we had one Legend car. If we wrecked it, we couldn't race the next week unless we had enough parts to put it back together again.
Just a ton of excitement, and the way the guys are together on this, they're looking at me to grow and to learn, and I'm looking at them to grow and to learn.
That's what race fans love to see. That's what they bought this ticket for. That's what they're sitting in the grandstands rooting on their favorite driver for is to see him get out there, mix it up clean and bring it home just like we were, third and fourth.
Newman and I were friends. We were great teammates, and he needs to check his trophy case on that Daytona 500 trophy I helped him get years ago.
You know, it's just a matter of working through the pitfalls sometimes and working through the challenges that lie ahead.
This is fun. This is entertainment, right guys?
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.
