california chance couple crew days daytona families guys heading means normal routine worn
I think everybody's pretty worn out after being in Daytona for so long. California means a normal routine and a chance for the crew guys to get back to their families for a couple of days before heading to another racetrack.
drive forgotten good mean race
It doesn't mean he's not a good driver. He hasn't forgotten how to drive a race car.
care
Who cares? All I want to do is just go home. ... I don't care about anything else right now.
heart marks means room scared serious sleeping somebody wake
I'm serious as a heart attack. I'll wake up, I may have stab marks in my back from the edges, but I'm sleeping with it tonight. I'm scared somebody will get in my room and get it. That's how serious I am about it. I mean, it means that much to me.
bumper coming front guys middle share trust
Guys are doing it in the middle of the corner, coming off it and coming on. It's softening the front bumper because it's the guys that are doing the hitting. Trust me, I did my share of it, too.
behind both decided extended gained guys lead
Yeah, there's really nothing decided yet. I extended my lead over Jimmie (from 15 to 43 points), but Biffle gained on both of us, and those guys behind him aren't out of it, either.
air bad belt blow build car cool early electrical fans guys hurt lets lost practice pressure rear session tires turn
Yeah, that was not too bad for a car that was just a little off, ... We had a setback in the practice session the other day and that got us off a little bit. But the guys rebounded really well. We lost an alternator belt early and that made us have to turn all the electrical switches off -- all the brake fans and the rear end fans and the fans that blow cool air on the tires to keep the tires cool. It hurt us because it lets it build air pressure a little quicker.
guess matt sideways thinks
Yeah, Matt always thinks that. I guess Matt didn't think anything when he got me sideways over in (Turn) 2. He should have thought about that first. He got back what he started in the first place.
guy means next seeing wrong
If a guy does us wrong the week before, and he does something the next week where he makes an effort to make it right, then I pretty much will let that go. You don't forget about it, but just seeing that the guy makes an effort the next week means a lot.
accomplish anybody average awesome beat finish finishes good guys last proud ran second sixth team wise wish
I am really happy. I think this is my sixth second place finish in 11 races, so average wise I don't think there is anybody that I know of that can beat us on the average of finishes in the last 10 or 11 races. So we are pretty proud of what this team has been able to accomplish here. It's been an awesome day. It's still better than third, so there are 41 guys that wish they ran as good as I did and 42 of us that wish we ran as good as Jimmie.
brother bus cameras riding
I wouldn't feel comfortable riding a bus with cameras on it. It's like we don't have Big Brother as it is all around us.
bad lead points week weekend
I don't feel like we're really in a catch-up mode, ... We had our bad week and even with that, we're only 23 points behind. We could take the points lead back this weekend very easily.
leading obviously race win
Obviously we wanted to win the race after leading that many laps.
example motivate today
Now, this year, all it's done is motivate us more. And today is an example of that.
