regret perfect wish
I'm far from perfect. There's a lot of times you'll say something that you regret or do something that you regret and wish you wouldn't have said it or done it.
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.
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.
car compared drove happy speeds
Compared to the competition, I was pretty happy with the car the way it drove and what our speeds were.
car drivers excuse fence front fun good lap line passing race rear run track white
The most fun track we race on may be at Atlanta. You can run the white line or you can have the right rear scraping the fence and probably run the same lap times, so you never have an excuse for not passing a car in front of you. There are a lot of good grooves at Atlanta. It's a good race for the drivers and good fun for the fans.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
point
It's a lot more than it's ever been. It's probably to the point where it's too much. But I don't know what to do about it.
heard morning racing watch
I heard about it this morning on the news. That's always tough, even if you don't know him or you don't know anything about that kind of racing or watch that kind of racing. It's still hard, especially with those cars. You always know the danger's there and things can go wrong.
great lap run thank today took
I really have to thank Greg Biffle, we didn't do a qualifying run today and we took a lot of his stuff. That's a great lap for us.
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.
