again apparently bad beginning bit enjoying everybody guess happens happy help leaving living overcome people rita sure tough
I guess it's going to take a little bit of everybody to try and overcome all this bad weather, ... It's just apparently the beginning because I'm pretty sure it's going to be a tough again this Rita hurricane. I'm living by the water, enjoying it. If anything bad happens to me, I'd be pretty happy if people are not leaving us behind. It's just normal, I think, try and help a little.
best smooth
The best I can say is it's not been a smooth ride,
chance closing door good maybe somebody stock test time
I'm not closing the door on it. I have a good time in the stock cars. Maybe somebody will give me a chance to test it and see if I'm good.
mistake small
I made a small mistake so I think I can go faster.
door open pulled small
I made very, very small mistakes, but not enough to open the door for anybody. At the end, we pulled away. That was very nice.
excited
I'm not too excited to try and do that again. It's just really nerve-wracking.
car curb eager fast lap mistake pushed single touched wall
It was not perfect. I made a mistake on every single lap and I brushed the wall on the first (fast) lap. I was probably a little too eager to go fast too early. I touched the curb in the chicane and that pushed the car wide. That was too close.
crazy extremely finger hard inches knew mind second survival
It was a crazy race. It was extremely hard on your mind because you knew every second was a survival mode. You are inches from each other. Sometimes I couldn't even have put a finger in between our wheels.
difficult knew lose needed ours tough weekend
It's always tough to say, but I think we probably would have been difficult to catch. I knew we had everything we needed to win. It was ours to lose this weekend and we didn't.
beside
It's better than having P.T. (Tracy) beside me,
achieved again amount best definitely easier easy everybody excited exciting finish flat floor foot happens hopefully last nerve office option proper quite race result setup spent sure team thinking time traffic vegas year
The result last year in Las Vegas was definitely a big team effort, ... The engineering office definitely spent a lot of time thinking about what was going to be the best option especially for the race setup because it was pretty easy flat and everybody was able to make it easy around the place. It was about having the proper amount of downforce and being able to go through traffic with your foot on the floor and that's what we achieved and we had a really spectacular 1-2 with very exciting finish of the race. But I'm not too excited to try and do that again it's just really nerve racking. We'll see what happens but it was quite a race and hopefully it's going to be easier this year but I'm not quite sure about that really.
dream good race
Before I say it is my dream to race in NASCAR, I need to see if I am good first,
We got a lot done and I think we accomplished most of what we wanted to do.
ours package weekend
The whole package this weekend was great. It was ours to lose.
