Being the favorite doesn't mean a darn thing to me, to be honest, as far as winning the points, ... I've led points championships before. The day I want to be leading is the Sunday at Homestead.
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.
common deal dictated feelings felt guy lowest points ranked
It was a big enough deal where I felt like I had to say something. The lowest guy in points in this series, if he doesn't like something, he should feel like he's responsible to go in there and tell them about it, too. Your feelings aren't ranked by points standings and your common sense shouldn't be dictated by that.
gained lead leaving needed points races smile three
We did what we needed to do; we gained some points here. A 43-point lead with three races is no cakewalk, by any means, but I'm leaving here with a smile on my face.

Everything that I had heard about him and everybody that I talked to about him said he was a good kid and somebody that they thought had a good future. I wanted to be a part of that.
amazed answering philosophers-and-philosophy questions today
The thing that has amazed me is that most of the questions I'm answering today are all theoretical. Well, I'm not a philosopher.
blowing expected majority normal race west wind worse
Every race we come here there is a lot of wrappers and stuff, ... The majority of grandstands are on the west side, and the wind was blowing to the east. I wouldn't say it was any worse than it typically is. It was pretty much the normal amount. ... With as windy as it was, I'll be honest. I expected it to be a lot worse.
balance beginning caught disastrous five kept liked maintain means picture race stayed top trying until
As the race went on, we just kept fighting, trying to get the (car's) balance right. But we stayed in the top 10 all day. Most of the beginning of the race we stayed in the top five until we got a little behind, and we just never could really get caught up. But we were able to maintain all day. So it wasn't by any means a disastrous day, but with the big picture I would have liked it to be better.
