There's no more important test than Vegas. We've got quite a bit of guessing to get through the next part of the season, and that's why this test is very important.
bit game last luck picture racing staying top
With a little bit of racing luck and a little bit of staying on top of our game and not let the big picture get away, we could do the same thing we did last year.
advantage bad bit catch good polish program race team teams testing time track
It's a good and a bad thing we're here testing at Richmond. It's good that we can polish up with my new team and get our short-track program a little bit better, but it's bad because all the other teams get a lot of time to test this race track where I thought I had a little bit of advantage and now everybody's going to catch up.

We did what we needed to do and I thought it turned out well, ... I just came up a bit short on Jimmie Johnson.
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.
bit finish forward good looking races
This is something we've been looking forward to for many races -- Richmond. We wanted to get a good finish because it has bit us so many times.
across ask bit chip easier everybody flat good mean nobody office pole question roger run runs shoulder smiling supposed walk
The way that Roger runs his organization, it's a 'flat' organization. What I mean by that is that you can just walk into anybody's office and ask them a question on how we can get things done a little bit better or easier and nobody has a chip on their shoulder on how the totem pole is supposed to work. Everything is run flat across the board. Everybody is smiling and having a good time.
handle loose missed
We just missed the handle on it again. It was just way too loose off the corners.
late position race
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.
building charisma face fans gone motor perspective putting race seem somewhat tracks vegas
Race tracks have somewhat gone away from building charisma and building an identity. They all seem to look the same. Fans are going to get a new perspective when they come to Las Vegas Motor Speedway that's so much different from all the other tracks. That's what it's all about, putting a new face on it for the fans.

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.
built ground last race seeing tony track watched year
Seeing Tony do it last year at Indy, I was envious. I said, 'I want to do that at Vegas.' It's a big race for me and my little brother, of course. I watched the track get built from the ground up.
both calls chance cool faith great matt roy says stay strategic talked together trust wait worked
Roy and I have talked a lot about it already. He says he can't wait for a chance to make those strategic calls and I have a world of faith and trust in him. Roy and Matt have always worked great together and they both stay so cool under pressure.

Rusty is definitely very keen on what shocks you need to run at Bristol, the different adjustments. I'm going to use that knowledge as well as what I've had there in the past.
