behind hard push tight
I had to push so hard to get by Kyle. We just got tight behind him and brushed the wall.
car challenge coming hard
Coming into the corners, you use a lot of brake, and it's hard to not only get the car stopped, but to get it to turn. Then you go through that challenge all over again.
exactly finish finished hardest needed run tonight
It's probably the hardest top-10 finish we've ever run here, but we did exactly what we needed to do tonight with the circumstances that we had. It finished out just fine.
fun hard knowing laps neither race racing
It was fun racing like that. If there'd been 80 laps to go, neither one of us would have raced each other that hard. But with 30 laps to go, you're going to race each other that hard for sure, knowing you're getting down to the end.
book career caught chapter closed goes hard moved seems week year
Yeah, but he's around it every week. It's hard when you're not around that, to go every week to get caught up. Every year that goes by, it just seems like that's a part of my career that is kind of like a chapter in a book that seems it's closed and we've moved on to another chapter.
explain guys hard listening talented
He's a talented kid. He's one of those guys that when you explain something to him, he does a lot more listening than he does talking, and that's hard to find with guys that are really competitive.
guys hard pit quarter rule run sure thumb until
For most part, the rule of thumb is pretty much you're going to race guys hard the last quarter of the race and for sure the last run of the day. You're still going to give and take until that last pit stop.
mistake hard
It's hard to not make a mistake at Darlington.
chicago convinced john laying man thoroughly
I'm thoroughly convinced that the man laying on the slab in the Chicago morgue was John Dillinger.
knew position quicker spin turn
I knew we were a little quicker than him. There was no way he was going to give it away, so we were going to have to take it away. We didn't turn him around. We didn't spin him out. We just got the position that we were after.
chess fifth leading matter next race timing
It's such a chess match. You can be leading the race one second, and you can be fifth the next second. I think it's just a matter of timing and getting yourself in the right place at the right time.
anybody beat best car drove everybody gordon jeff knows lap ought positive run
Everybody knows who had the best car here today, ... There wasn't anybody who was going to beat us. Jeff Gordon got the trophy, but he wasn't going to beat us. We had the best car. All you have to do is get the lap times. They could run with us for 15 or 18 laps, but we always drove away. That's the positive thing that we ought to take away from today.
chase dictate nights
It was just one of those screwed-up nights that's probably going to dictate the way the Chase comes out,
given win won
They've never given up on me, ... We didn't want to win it like we did in 2002. We won it right this time.
