capable five ground picking points pressure races start winning
We need to start making up some points and picking up some ground pretty soon, with only five races left, but we know we're capable of winning every race. Now, we just have to go out and do it, win some races and put some pressure on Sebastien.
best biggest cup drive feet full hopefully mark maybe open people question racing somewhere start type
I'd like to go Cup racing and Busch racing full time, but I've got to start somewhere and get my feet wet. The biggest question mark people have for me is, can I drive one of these cars? I'm doing one of each type of venue, hopefully try to do the best I can and maybe open up some doors.
behind five races start
I'm a long way behind and, with only five races left, I have to start winning.
car driving process start
I wouldn't say that driving the car is any different. Once you get out there and start racing, your mentality, your thought process of what you do is the same as it's always been.
car definitely finish good start
Well, definitely not the way I wanted to start the season. I'm very disappointed because I know that we had a car good enough to finish on the podium.
definitely start
Definitely not the way to start the season.
definitely four start taking tough
That's definitely not the way to start a season. Taking out four contenders is a tough way to start a season.

It's definitely not the way to start the season, with three or four championship contenders taken out in the first turn.

It's definitely not the way to start the season. That accident took out a lot of championship contenders and it's a real shame.

We felt we could have been third on the grid. We got everything we could out of the car, but the Newman-Haas cars are just very, very quick.
afford capitalize either front seems team time
We need to be in front of him to capitalize on it. It seems that every time either myself or someone from another team seem to give it to him. We can't afford to do that any more.
anywhere bat car couple easy good great ground guys laps looked passes section
We had a great car and I was able to make passes pretty much anywhere around the track. I got a couple guys right off the bat but the car was so good that I was able to make up ground through the infield section as well as the oval. I was making easy laps and it looked good.
aware consistent easy either hate love people racer races remembered tough year
I don't go out and tell people what I have done in my career, ... I'm aware of how long I have been in the sport and how many races I have won, but it is nothing for me to show off about. People either love me or hate me. I just want to be remembered as a tough racer who has been consistent year in and year out for 15 years, which isn't easy to do.
further motivates next obviously short stick year
Obviously we've had some run-ins this year and I've come out on the short end of the stick but that only motivates me further for next year,
