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.
car coolest eating fans gordon jeff lead night people practice remember top
The coolest thing is you have 160,000 fans that you can see all day long or all night long. I can remember (passing) Jeff Gordon for the lead and I could see the people cheering. The grandstands are right on top of you. When you get out of the car after practice or qualifying, you can see what the fans are eating and what they're drinking. You're that close.
cars eight fall five good last seven sprint top weeks win zones
I'll be honest. I've had zones . . . when I was in Midgets and Sprint Cars where I could go week-in and week-out and not fall out of the top three. But to win five out of the last seven and be in the top seven for the last eight weeks is a pretty good record.
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.
again amount bad good hour knowing might moved next picked race smooth solid speed spent top trim trying weather
It was a solid lap, ... We spent the first hour in race trim knowing the weather might be bad on Saturday. On our next run, we went out for speed and that put us on top of the board. We went back out and moved it up again on the list. We picked up the same amount of time. It was all about going out there and trying to be smooth on the lap. It was a good day all the way around.
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.

darn far favorite leading led mean points sunday winning
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.
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.
anybody count everybody four math narrow weeks
With four weeks to go you can't narrow it down yet. It's too early. The math is how you do it. Mathematically, everybody is still in it. As long as everybody is mathematically in it, I don't know how you can count anybody out of it.
