I believe they're more behind me now than we were this time last year, knowing that this is a unique opportunity -- A, to defend our championship and, B, to get the most out of 2005,
I believe the situation has worked out in the best interest of the drivers, the teams and the sponsors,
He's a quick study. Anytime I get to finish in front of him, I have to jab him and let him know.
(A race you win) is one less race for things to go wrong, ... You can look at it from many different directions, and for us, we wanted to capitalize on the first eight races and after Atlanta we were forced into making sure we didn't have anything go wrong after that. We wanted to attack for as many races as we could, and then you have to play it cool, because you can only go for so long.
I looked all around the place and said, 'Wow, what a unique and fun place for us to race!
I really felt like we were really in contention. I understand you have to run for a championship, but when we come to Vegas, it feels like the Daytona 500.

I hope we can do two in a row. It would be great to be able to start out like that.
I'm happy that we got a pole. That puts us in next year's Bud Shootout, which we missed this year.
After that, it will be a great race, in prime time Saturday night, for the fans that will be watching it here or the fans watching on East Coast television,
After the problem we had, I thought we were buried. It's very tough to come back to the front.
That's exactly what we're hoping for this time around - another great day and a super team effort. We definitely plan on starting up closer to the front than we did there that day.
I'm glad that's behind me. I did learn some things through (the experience). The first thing is that speed should be saved for the racetrack.
I'm going to tip this Wiener, ... Hang on.
