bad starts
I always have bad starts at this track,
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.
bottom great longer takes
He's just a great rider, bottom line. It just takes me a little longer to get going. You've got to give it up to him for sure.
against chad harder knew race sticking track wall win wore
Chad hounded me for while out there and I was just sticking to my lines. As the track wore out it just got harder and I knew that it would be harder for Chad to get by me. We got our back against the wall and I'm going to try to win every race from here on out.
best early fact fans final last lucky number race races rather series sew talent title win
The fans wanted this championship to come down to the final race and that's what they've got. I would much rather sew up the title early and I've been lucky enough to do that a number of times in my career, but I'll go out there in the last two races and do the best I can to win it this way. The fact that the championship would come down to the final race is something I've said all season. There's just too much talent in the series for anything else to happen.
james obviously points riding settling
I'm not settling in, the points are too close. James (Stewart) is obviously riding really well.
appreciate career confident except good great love signed team thanks wins
I'm doing something I love to do, ... I don't know what to say, except the wins keep coming, I've had great career and I'll try to get as many more as I can. I love it and appreciate it and thanks to all my sponsors. I know that when I signed with Makita Suzuki, I didn't know it was going to be as good as it has been. I was confident in my abilities and in the team and you've just got to give it up for Makita Suzuki.
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.
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.
