(But) I really enjoy qualifying here at night. The car was pretty stout. |
Any judgment call is not good in racing. That's the bottom line. They could penalize you for good racing. |
Being stuck back there all day in dirty air just worked against us, ... We had a top-five finish at Charlotte [a fifth in the wreck-plagued Coca-Cola 600], so hopefully we'll turn this performance around next weekend. We're still in the hunt for the title, so we'll just put this one behind us. |
Biffle has a ton of talent, ... He's obviously a very, very car-control style of driver. He likes to hang the car out, which is totally cool as long as you can control it. He's proven this year for sure that he can. |
Casey gave me a good shove to get me out of the way and then he decided not to go with us. |
Every race is equal as far as the points go, so you keep doing the best job you can. It can all change in one day, one weekend. We could come out of Louden, N.H., with the points lead, you just never know. |
Everyone has had their tail whipped at some time. Our definitely has taken a beating lately, but you have to get back up and try harder. |
Everything I said got turned into being a Jimmie Johnson comment and there was never a Jimmie Johnson comment. It was about his crew chief and that's the bad thing about how everything went down Sunday evening at Daytona. |
Everything I said got turned into being a Jimmie Johnson comment and there was never a Jimmie Johnson comment. It was about his crew chief and that's the bad thing about how everything went down Sunday evening at Daytona. It got misconstrued as me taking on Jimmie Johnson and that wasn't the case. |
For the first time in my career, I'm looking forward to going to Talladega, ... If we can qualify well again and stay up front all day, the racing is actually fun. |
Going into California, just because we're in third (in points), we can come out of California 33rd in points. |
Going into Texas, I look forward to going back as the defending winner, but that doesn't mean a whole lot when it comes to different teams and another opportunity to win the race. I just look forward to that as well as the IROC race. |
Gordon is not a Hoosier. He's just not proud of being from San Francisco. |
He closed the door, and I couldn't get back down in time. I committed myself high, and that gave Jimmie the win. I was just a matter of who was going to finish second. |
He did everything but take me out this week, I will say that, ... He didn't and we were able to finish the race and have a good finish at that, so we'll go on. |
