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.
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'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.
He's a quick study. Anytime I get to finish in front of him, I have to jab him and let him know.
I appreciate all that Jack Roush and the team has done for me and the professionalism shown in reaching an agreement with me on the release, ... I am excited about what lies ahead.
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.
I hope we can do two in a row. It would be great to be able to start out like that.
If you think I'm good, wait until you see my little brother, ... He's an even better race car driver than I am.
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.
