assumed bound coming deal determined everybody final glad good last motions next people proud races remind saw start tony weekend win
I think everybody saw it coming, and I'm glad he's back. Last weekend was a good start for us. I was real proud of my team. People assumed that we'd just go through the motions in these final 10 races, but honestly, Tony Jr. coming back has kind of put a jolt in our enthusiasm. He's bound and determined to win some of these races and remind everybody what they've got to deal with next year.
races seven six three top win
We are going to win six or seven races and be in the top three in the Chase. If we don't win the championship, it won't be by much.
build good next nine races tony toward work
Tony and I are a good combination. And we're going to try to work toward next year. These next nine races are real important and we're going to try to build on that.
common cut deal example guy main needs next pointless position races seems sort time
For example, one of the more common ones is if a guy races you really hard, and it seems pointless at the time, then next time when he's in a position that he needs a break, you don't cut him one. That's sort of the main one that I probably deal with most often.
awesome fans good hope keeps
I think it is awesome - I think it is good for our sport. It is really entertaining for the fans and it is really entertaining for the other drivers. I hope it keeps going.
best handle hands left nascar situation step worse
I think it's best left in the driver's hands and the crew's hands on how they handle this issue. I don't think NASCAR can step in and make any improvements. They'll probably make the situation a whole lot worse for all of us anyway.
guys knowing love rearview
It comes down to knowing what you are doing out there. There are guys there, not naming any names, but there are guys you don't wan to get bump-drafted by. And there are guys that you love to see in your rearview mirror.
figured good guys pull run time tracks
I thought we were going to pull through and get one at Atlanta, one of the better tracks for me. But we do run good every time we come here. Some guys have this place figured out; we'll just have to go after them.

When he was around, man, you knew he was there. That was tough . . . I miss him a lot.

We've got to tweak the nose a little. We're talking tenths of a percent - not a whole lot.

Guys get caught cheating all the time. Cheating is nothing new in the garage.
chicks crew hot talk tube
I look for hot chicks in tube tops. You know, you people-watch a lot. You talk to your crew to look busy. You look at people's cars.
bit car evident felt hard outside shop work
I felt like we had a top-15 car all day but we were right outside of that all day, down on horsepower a little bit which was really evident this weekend. So we need to work really hard at the shop on that.
carry confidence drivers easier hard matter nice rookie setup somewhere track win
It has always had a nice kind of grip, which makes it easier for rookie drivers to come in and get comfortable, but the setup is still hard to find. I think when you win somewhere you always carry that confidence into that track no matter what happens.
