careers trying win
We don't have long careers in this sport and I'm just trying to win as much as I can while I can.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
caught definitely felt race speed
That was definitely a race for the fans. I felt like we had the speed to win, but got caught up at the start. That's the way it goes.
fun james stayed wished
I wished James would've stayed up. It would've been fun to do battle.
excited gave great night together worked year
It has been an unbelievable year for me, ... I am really excited for Suzuki, and this is a big night for them. They gave me an opportunity, and we all worked together on this great season.
james obviously points riding settling
I'm not settling in, the points are too close. James (Stewart) is obviously riding really well.
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.
risk season second
It's a long season and it's better to get second than risk crashing.
