So there is going to be that balance of understanding how to get the best out of the car that day, whether it's 15th or even if I have a shot at a top 10, protecting that car so we can bring it back when we have to.
I was very surprised that it got that personal. With the way that everything came about, looking back on it, maybe I could have done it a different way. But I thought the best approach was to vilify them early on. That way they would get their sponsors lined up (so I could leave at the end of 2005).
He is really coming together quicker than I thought. He was pretty stout and I am pretty proud of him. He competed with the best of the best. He did it in Vegas, of all places.
I believe the situation has worked out in the best interest of the drivers, the teams and the sponsors,
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.
That's what I try to do each and every week is give my best effort and not give up, no matter what comes at us.
This was a great momentum-builder, ... Look out, Kurt Busch is running again. This just propels you right into the Chase.
Believe it or not, when practice begins on Thursday morning at Texas Motor Speedway, that will be the first time I've ever even sat in a Grand National car.
With the asphalt here being so old, it's going to be hard to see what it does, but there are going to be some shadows. The way we're going to be racing at night the corners might look the same to the eye, but we're going to have to adjust to it as we go.
When you're a team that's won a championship, people look at you and how you did it and what your approach could be.
We just missed the handle on it again. It was just way too loose off the corners.
We had (the car) in position late in the race and I thought we had a shot. You could just see it brewing. With 20 to go, it was going to get busy.
The race is definitely a high-intensity race. You have to stay patient. I've got one win there, but many tough finishes. I hope we're able to stay out of trouble in the pits and put together a good finish.
We've never seen a spark here out on the race track, because we've never run under the lights, so you'll see sparks in odd places that you've never seen here before.
