I'm still nervous about the championship. The way our season's gone, no matter how good we're running you don't know what's going to happen. This was a race we needed to put together. And I'm glad it happened here at Bristol.
I think it's an evil. There are ways to pass without it. It just takes a little bit longer. I've never been for it, but I've got to be a part of it. I don't have a choice. I want to win.
It didn't hurt having my teammate (Busch) pushing me from behind. There at the end it got pretty interesting.
I think with our track record here at Daytona, with the performance that we've got going for us already this week, I'd like to think that we're one of the favorites. But whether we're the guy to beat or not, we'll find out in the closing laps of the 500.
Many county employees, and myself, chose to make Chester County their career because of the retirement package that was available. The new proposal does not serve and reward faithful employees.
I wish we were in a little bit better position. But you're definitely going to see all that we have to give this weekend, next weekend and the weekend after that.
I was hoping it was just a tire. We know we have a better car next week.
That's been kind of the way A.J. wrestles. You don't know what's going to happen unless you stay out there for six minutes.
I would like to get a call from Goodyear to do a tire test because they haven't called us to test for a while. I feel like we have paid the price a little bit. We have called them and asked them why we aren't tire testing.
I would love to see Jimmie get in position where I could get behind him and help him all I can. I am going to work as hard as I can to get myself into that position. He certainly has helped me plenty of times, and I want those guys to win the championship and I'm going to do everything that I can to help them.
My car just took off. I thought man, we've got a shot at this thing.
Starting up front here is definitely an advantage. It allows you to be patient in dealing with the traffic. And traffic is something you can't get away from here. It always seems like there are 42 cars right behind you and another 42 cars right in front of you.
Just the four is really impressive. To do a fifth would be unbelievable.
I think it could have been avoided by both of us and it cost us both a lot.
