Jimmie Johnson Inside Quotations

I was fading so I don't really have any complaints with the way that he raced me. I passed him two or three times earlier in the day and found another line and worked my way around the outside of him. I was a little surprised that he continually drove it in and kept trying to blast me in the center. I think he probably hit me for four or five laps and the time that he got by me, he really had my wheels off the ground and I couldn't get in the gas and he got inside of me and from there drove on and drove away from me. This is short track racing.

We were inside the top 10 for most of the day. We were doing a great job, and the guys made a lot of adjustments and did a lot of work. But just there at the end we couldn't keep up with the track, or the car got loose for some reason.

I'm proud of our team. Starting in the inside is a big advantage. We will get a great pit selection so we have that benefit to look forward to as well.

For somebody that says it doesn't bother him, evidently it has, ... I guess we've gotten inside of his head, even though he says we haven't.
