Maybe this will put the dreaded Intrepid thing to rest. Maybe the Charger is the way we need to go.
There's always only five or six guys, maybe seven or eight guys that can win. There's another 15 or 20 that can slide in and win. When you look at the consistent guys, I'm only going to pick the standard seven or eight.

For all the Dodge Dealers out there, maybe this will put that dreaded Intrepid thing to rest. All the Dodge teams have worked hard to get better, so maybe the Charger is the way we need to go.
We've just got to start building some stuff to get better.
Why do I like racing? I was too lazy to work and too chicken to steal.
This was basically a tire-management race. I know some teams had issues, but we never had any problems.
When we looked at it, we'd made very little progress over the last four or five years. We weren't going in the right direction, so we had to look outside our own circle.
Both cars had a good day, and Bobby drove his tail off. I think he's got something to prove.
We had a great, great run, ... I can't really complain. We've struggled all year. To come here and have a good run was good for us.
I am a little wary about wearing this Gators jersey in Tennessee territory. I covered it with a coat walking in here so I didn't get shot or something.
I'm happy, but not surprised. We ran good down here last year.
I run 20-25 miles during the week ... but you really watch what you eat, I think that's the main thing.
Our focus has to be the 43 car because that's our brand. That's who we are. In a day and time when everything is marketing, we can't afford to let that brand go away.
