definitely keen knowledge run rusty shocks
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.
bad challenge competition days easier good run
That's what I live for, is the challenge and the competition on the track. You're going to have your good days and have your bad days, but it's easier to be comfortable because I know in the long run everything's going to be all right.
hope matter run time year
Frankly, I hope it does. They've run it all year long. It's been a matter of time before things were revealed.
bumps dig fans goes leading race racing running second trophy
If we're leading and he's running second and he bumps me out of the way, I'd understand. That's what goes on, man. This racing is awesome. Fans dig it. That's the big thing about Bristol, you have to come to race hard. You have to be able to hoist up the trophy at the end of the day without any grudges.
great kurt running
This was a great momentum-builder, ... Look out, Kurt Busch is running again. This just propels you right into the Chase.
odd places race run seen spark sparks
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.
again anxiety definitely final finish intense intensity last modeled pattern pressure races racetrack run solid tried wear year
That's something I tried to do last year and again modeled that pattern this year -- just to run each of the regular-season races as if they were important, and they are definitely. But the final 10 and the intensity and pressure and anxiety to get to the racetrack and to have a solid finish . . . the final 10 is definitely so intense that you can wear yourself out before you even get there.
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.
few great nascar next rebuild running safer taste time tough type weeks
It's been a tough few weeks with running into SAFER barriers, luckily, and researching with NASCAR what type of G-force my body's been through, ... You just need time to repair, to rebuild and to re-gather yourself, and next week something else would happen. And so this is a great taste of victory. It's very satisfying.
definitely great grew race relationship running tear trucks
We definitely had great times together. Biffle and I grew up running trucks together. It's a great relationship and not just one race will tear it apart.
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.
daytona feels felt run understand
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.

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.
