However, Florida wine consumers have relatively low awareness of Washington wine. By launching our first national ad campaign in a 'clean' test market, we can see the degree by which our efforts can move the needle.
I could just tell that the car had that feel, it had that comfort to me. I had a car underneath me where I felt I could get aggressive with it.
I do believe in karma, but I also do believe in consistency. If you are running in the top five week in and week out, you'll put yourself in position to eventually get into Victory Lane.
I believe 100 percent in Robbie Loomis and in his abilities. When we're on, there's nobody better, and because of our lack of performance this year I really don't think that, you know, Robbie should be put to blame for that.
I feel like over the years that I've been here that I've earned more respect. But I don't know if I'll ever have the type of respect that Dale had. Because Dale had that kind of respect, everybody looked up to him. Whether they enjoyed racing with him or having dinner with him or not, they all respected him tremendously.
I did a lot to clean the tires off and try to keep as much heat in them. When we took off, the car wasn't the same. I don't know what it was.
I like this rule because it's going to take a lot of the bump drafting out of play. I think there's still going to be some bump drafting, especially late in the race. But I think it will make guys have to think a little bit more about how they pass. That goes back to the type of drafting I learned early on. We used the air to push the cars around instead of the bumpers. I like that type of drafting, and I'm curious to see how we'll manage it.
I really don't care where we end up in points now. It's all about getting ourselves in position to get things turned around so we can go into next season and challenge for the championship.
I'll take part of the blame. I think Tony should take part of it as well.
I'll do a little prayer here and there if I feel the need to.
As fast as we're going these days, especially because of the aerodynamics, we're all concerned about abusing tires. It's so fast that you're afraid of what you're going to do to the tires.
There are certain times when you can maybe intimidate certain people to force them to make a mistake. There are other people you know that you've got to make a clean pass. I try to make clean passes. That's something that I've been doing since I was 7 years old and that's the way I like to do it. It doesn't mean I always do it that way, but that's the way I prefer to do it.
You're still going to see accidents, you always will. Especially towards the closing laps of a race.
When you've got the Daytona 500 out there at stake and everything riding on the line, guys go for it, and the guys that go for it are the ones that are either going to win or they're going to wreck.
