carry couple guys positions whine win wreck
I wasn't going to wreck him. A couple of times I had him in compromising positions and I let him go. I didn't want to win that way. Jimmie understands that's just short-track racing. There are a lot of guys who don't. ...When you have a guy who understands and doesn't whine and carry on and complain, that makes it more fun.
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.
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.
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.
attitude coming guys program spread taken
I feel like we've really taken our program to another level. It's not been because of me, it's been because of the two young guys coming in. Their attitude has kind of spread through the shop.
benefit bit guys hold list longer patient
There are guys you give the benefit of the doubt if they hold you up a little bit longer than normal, and you have that list of guys you kind of know are going to be a problem when you get there. The window of being patient with them is a lot shorter.
chad guy inside listening room saying
When you got a guy with the things like Chad was saying on the radio, it's like being inside a kindergarten room listening to it,
great guys reasons
There are reasons these guys got to this level. They're great drivers.
good guys proud ran second volatile wish
That's still better than third, so there's 41 guys that wish they ran as good as I did. As volatile as this place can be ... to be able to get to second is something I feel we can be proud of.
darling dealing guys job media next promise regular
I've just been a regular media darling this week, ... I know you've got a job to do. I promise to do a better job dealing with you guys next year.
awesome chase good guys hold job point race racing ryan series short top track worth
It was a good race, ... That's awesome short track racing right there. They (the fans) got their money's worth today. That's the way the race to the Chase should start, just like that. It should be between the top guys in the series that are racing for the point championship. Ryan did an awesome job and we just couldn't hold him off there at the end.
