gone gonna swing
If I thought he was gonna try to take a swing at me or something like that, I probably wouldn't have gone over there.
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.
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.
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.
agency decision fair free huge though
I want him to make a decision. To be fair for the team, even though I am a huge Brett Favre fan, I think he should have made a decision before free agency was over and before the draft.
basically car hurts regard run time track
It never hurts to get track time at the same track in basically the same car (with regard to bodywork and chassis setup) that you're going to run all week.
