accident finish hard known mean taken
That was my fault, it was an accident and I didn't mean to do it. I would be hot, too. He raced hard all day long for his third-place finish and it got taken away from him. I probably should have known better than to go over him.
cheap fair hard mark martin race shot spot taken worked
I worked hard for that spot all day, and I didn't think I should have got a cheap shot taken at me at the end of a race like that. I always try to think, 'Would Mark Martin have done that?' If Mark would have done it, then it probably was a fair move. If Mark wouldn't, then it probably wasn't.
cheap drove extra hard knocked run
He knocked me out of the way. I thought if he had a run on me, had me beat, that would have been OK. But he drove extra hard and knocked me out of the way. I thought it was a cheap shot.
best couple five four fun hard knew last three
He's probably had more fun the last three or four or five years than he did the first couple of years I knew him. Mark's awesome. He's one of the best in the garage, and if you can get him the right stuff, he's going to be hard to beat.
bad contender doubt good hard running side strong
I feel bad for Greg, it's hard to look at the good side if you are him. He's running so strong and there's no doubt he's going to be a contender at the end of the year.
blame hope night saw sunday talked upset
You always hope it's over. I saw him Sunday night after the race. We talked about it a little bit. I don't blame him for being upset. I'd have been upset too.
best car near run running whatever
We couldn't near run whatever the No. 9 was running at the end, and that was the best we had our car all day.
caught eight tires
I don't think I could have caught him on eight tires he was going so fast.
against fair million sitting whatever
I don't think it is fair to have that $10 million or whatever sitting there against the (salary) cap. I don't think that is fair.
along best cars competing continues crew fact good great hopefully leading mean pick pit point running season team victories week wins
Obviously, leading at this point in the season doesn't mean that much. But, the fact that this 17 team is competing for wins each week does. The cars have been great and our pit crew continues to be the best out there. It's a long season, but hopefully we can keep running this good and pick up some victories along the way.
hope mad messed reason
I didn't have any reason to be mad at him. I just apologized. I messed up. I'd be mad if was him, too. So I hope everything is OK.
bit definitely early feeling gives good guys leading points top
It's really early in the year, but I think when you're leading the points or when you're solidly in the top 10, it definitely gives you a good feeling and it gives the guys a good feeling. There's a little bit more comfort, being in the top 26 races, being in the front.
bristol compared gordon jeff peanuts
Okay, enough about me. You all thought getting shoved by Jeff Gordon at Bristol was controversial. That's peanuts compared to what went down in Texas.
beat fun good known pole
It's been a while. It was pretty fun to beat (Gordon) off the pole because he's always known for being so good here.
