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.
I believe the situation has worked out in the best interest of the drivers, the teams and the sponsors,
It seems the young Jedi has done well. He learns quick - he's putting all his knowledge from his own team and what I've given him to work with.
I feel like we're a very good top-10 car, but we really have to work hard and find a unique way to get these top fives.
All in all it was great, ... To be able to come back and work our way through the pack. We took four tires when we thought we needed to stay out and then we had a long green flag run and that put us into a great position.
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.
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.
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.
Everybody wants to win Daytona. There's only one guy that's happy when we leave and that's the winner. California is really where the season starts.
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.
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.
