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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
behavior biggest compliments guys honor nice race talk
It's nice that they don't have to talk about my behavior anymore, ... That's the biggest honor you can have, for the guys you race with to give you that kind of compliment.
guys intent intimidate opposite works
It was done with the intent of intimidating us. But there are some guys you can intimidate and some guys where it works the opposite way,
attitude guys reinvent starting year
A season's still a season. Let's not reinvent the wheel. We're starting this year with the same guys and the same attitude we did the year before, and the year before that.
almost gotta guys hanging hit last loose quarter rear reason straight
You're 11th, but a lot of those guys gotta stop, so we're really more like fifth... I may have over-adjusted on that last stop, so I'll take the blame, but the reason you may be loose is because your right rear quarter panel is hanging almost straight out after the 20 (Stewart) hit you.
great guys reasons
There are reasons these guys got to this level. They're great drivers.
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.
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.
