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.

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.
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.
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.
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.

I knew from the beginning he could be a strong racer, a force to be reckoned with. He's getting more and more comfortable.
definitely ourselves pressure putting special win
It's something that's very special to win a championship. We want to do something even more special -- win a back-to-back championship. We're definitely putting the pressure on ourselves to do it.
great hit knew mark martin race racing remember touch
It's something I'll remember forever, racing Mark Martin for the IROC win. It was one of those great battles, where I knew if I couldn't hit him, knew I couldn't touch him, and I wanted to race him clean.
