Quotations

«The heck with the preliminaries, I want to win the main nights, ... We've been pretty good all the time. We keep plugging away in the top two or three in every show so that helps a lot.»

«I was afraid it wouldn't make it the whole way around,»

«I was just wanting to make sure we got somewhere in the top four to have a shot at winning the race [on Saturday]. With this caliber of guys, the closer you start to the front, the better your chances are.»

«It's been going on the last few races,»

«I had to work the whole race tonight. I was struggling to get around the bottom. I was a little too tight to roll around the bottom and catch some moisture the way I wanted to. I got a little bit of a rhythm going. Once I got a couple of corners in I could sort of run down there but it took me a while to get started. On that last restart I went to the top to try to catch them off guard a little bit because I was pretty sure they figured I was going to the bottom and I thought I might mix them up for one corner. Then I just tried to hit my spots and it worked out well.»

«I made a mistake but it turned out to be a good thing because it gave me more experience working the draft,»

«You've got to work your way up front, that's the hard part about it,»

«I just pretty much worked the bottom all night. It had some moisture down there. I started going into the middle of Turns 3 and 4 and the middle of Turns 1 and 2 to get some lapped cars, but other than that I just hung down low.»

«You can't run over the top of them, ... They're down in the fast part of the groove and racing themselves. The car was working good to where I could keep a little momentum. I would miss it once in a while and lose a little bit, but when I'd catch it right I could stay with them and get a run at them and get back in front of them.»

«We got a bad draw and had to start in the back of the Dash,»
