bit car cars everybody matter package run slow smart stuck time track
I think you're going to have to be smart and use it at the right time because everybody is going to go by you, ... It's going to be a matter of when to use it and how to use it.JThe car is really stuck on the track with the aerodynamic package we run there. There is a bit too much downforce to slow the cars down.
time yellow
It was a little frustrating. Every time a yellow would come out, I'd say, 'Well, OK, do it again.
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.
action battles cars easier fast full great guys oval run section smaller speed time tricky
The Mustang was really fast and had great top-end speed but it was a little tricky in the infield section. We could run guys down on the oval section and but some of the smaller cars had a little easier time in the infield. It made for a lot of great battles and a day full of action for us.
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.
high jumping paid price rules surprised time whatever wrong
All the sudden, he was jumping on the brakes. I was so surprised I didn't have time to stop. He was in the wrong and he can say whatever he wants. He did not play by the rules and he could have paid a very, very high price for it. It could have been a very big two-car crash.
We got a lot done and I think we accomplished most of what we wanted to do.
dream good race
Before I say it is my dream to race in NASCAR, I need to see if I am good first,
team
But nothing happened. The team told me, 'Don't worry,' so I didn't.
breathe points weekend
If we come out of this weekend with the same kind of points lead, I think we will be able to breathe a little easier,
began dominant last poles stepped talk teams truth year
I think the talk began probably because we haven't scored as many poles as we did last year and we haven't been as dominant this year, but the truth is that the other teams have stepped it up,
nailed
I was a little disappointed that they nailed me during the winter.
coming dragged nearly stuffed turn wall
He just dragged me all the way up there in traffic, nearly stuffed me in the wall coming off Turn Two,
best enjoy job later pressure sooner whatever
The pressure is off. We know it's going to come sooner or later whatever I do. I just have to concentrate, do the best job I can, and enjoy the race.
