james obviously points riding settling
I'm not settling in, the points are too close. James (Stewart) is obviously riding really well.
appreciate best brought enjoy fans focused goes harder results seem successful table training work
But I just focused on training harder than ever and Suzuki really brought their best to the table and the results have been phenomenal. I always enjoy Millville. The fans there are real enthusiasts and seem to appreciate the kind of work that goes into being successful in our sport.
career confident fun good signed sponsors team
I know that when I signed with Suzuki, I didn't know it was going to be as good as it was. I was confident in my abilities and in the team and you've just got to give it up for Suzuki and all my sponsors - it's a long list, my wife, my parents... It's been a long career and a fun one.
happiness happy pumped
I'm really happy for Ivan. He's been working hard, and I'm really pumped for him.
close enjoy far feels five fun love wins
As far as the five wins at Daytona, it really feels great. It's pretty amazing. I love this race. It's close to home, and I've always done well here. I really enjoy it. It's fun for me. It's special.
risk season second
It's a long season and it's better to get second than risk crashing.
admission experience last price seattle vegas worth
I've been here before and will use my experience to get me through these last two rounds. Seattle and Vegas will be worth the price of admission for sure.
glad good james shame
It's a shame that James fell. We wanted to put on a good event, but I'm glad to get out of here with a win.
believe crash drive good guys hard missed work
I wanted to get a good drive through the whoops section, but I missed one of them (whoops) and crashed. But I rebuilt myself after the crash and I can't believe I made it to the podium. These guys are making me work hard and we have to be up here (on podium) every weekend.
clean dream great happened hard kept liking racing true winning
I do not liking winning this way, and it was very unfortunate what happened to James. It was hard to get by him, and it was great that we kept the racing clean out there. This is a dream come true for me tonight.
mind of-my-mind
It'll definitely be in the back of my mind,
team people racing
Many people thought that riding for a new team and racing on a brand new bike would be a lot to overcome,
winning race trying
I'm looking forward to getting in Reliant and trying to get a win there. That's a great venue and a wonderful race.
goal worry needs
I'm worried about myself, not anybody else. I have my goals and I'm not worried about anyone. I need to take care of myself before I worry about someone else.
