anybody car chief crew hopefully hurt
I just wanted to tell (Riggs') crew chief that he started his car way too loose, ... so hopefully they don't hurt anybody else in the Chase.

I just wanted to tell his crew chief that he started the car way too loose so, hopefully, they don't hurt anybody else in the Chase.
along good great list popularity press previous quotes shows thanks
Hey, any press is good press. I think it just shows the popularity of NASCAR. But it is very disheartening to know that I'm on that list thanks to some (anonymous) quotes from execs from my previous team. I can tell you, I got along great with my teammates.
best career definitely kurt late
I know that getting a career started this late -- 27 years old -- in open-wheel isn't the best thing to do. But if we dabbled here and there, you should definitely look out for Kurt Busch having some fun.
beginning force knew reckoned strong
I knew from the beginning he could be a strong racer, a force to be reckoned with. He's getting more and more comfortable.
car driver race until wait
If you think I'm good, wait until you see my little brother, ... He's an even better race car driver than I am.
bring car caught decide earlier excited forward good hang middle pit position qualify race ran running seventh shakes single stop stuck wait wrong year
If you're running in the top-five during the race, usually you're single file, not three-wide pack, that's something you try to position yourself for. If you're stuck in the middle there's not much you can do. You don't want to get caught up in a wreck, so you have to decide if you want to go forward or if you want to hang out in the back and wait for a pit stop to jumble up the field. Qualifying is important, but, if you qualify up front, you can get shuffled to the back if you get into the wrong draft. We'll see how it shakes up. We have a good car. It's the car we ran seventh here earlier this year so I'm excited to bring it back.
broke car garage gas helmet jimmy obvious ran seat spencer strapped struck tooth words
I ran out of gas when I got into the garage area, and Jimmy Spencer ran into the back of my car. I was still in the car when he approached me with obvious anger. Words were exchanged, but I was still strapped in my seat with my helmet off when he struck me in the face. He broke my tooth and bloodied my nose.
dinner people
It's been great. I'm with new people around me, a new team. We're going out to dinner tonight, 18 of us.
equal everybody opportunity testing whether wire
That's why we're here testing at Richmond. That's the cutoff for the Chase. They want to make it an equal opportunity for everybody when it comes down to the wire whether you're in or out. There are no excuses.
bit blows cars guys hear lose miles passing perspective pit sit strategy teams watch
That's what makes our sport so unique. You can sit there and watch it on TV, and you get more of the perspective of the pit strategy and the way the guys are passing each other out on the track. Then when you come to the race, you lose a little bit of that, but you can still see live what's going on, and you can get a scanner and hear the teams and what transmissions go back and forth. And you have the smell, you've got the sight, the feel. When cars come by at 200 miles an hour, it blows you away.
happen impact learned sure
Don't just do it. You have to make an impact and tell them you learned some things and that you're going to make sure that doesn't happen again.
anytime chance gave good half introduce major race regular reward size sponsors
It was a good day for us in the Sharpie 500. Anytime one af your major sponsors is also a sponsor of the race itself, you feel the need to reward them. I think we did that. It als gave us a chance to introduce the new 'Sharpie Mini,' which is half the size of the regular Sharpie.
crowd good home run
It was a good run today. This is my hometown, and I want to do it for the home crowd on Sunday.
