We’ve got everything in our power right now to be in that Chase and to be in the top 10, so we’ve just got to put all the pieces of the puzzle in the right...

Bristol is a great track, but it hasn’t been a good track for me.

He’s pretty amazing. Regardless what they do with the car to make it faster, his ability makes a big difference. He’s pretty amazing.

I thought it was fairly clean. I thought everybody respected the spirit of the rules. I think the whole bump-drafting thing has been blown out of proportion. It’s what has made this sport fun.

More than anything the 24-hour race and everything leading up to the Daytona 500 on the Cup side was really positive. That gave us a lot of confidence going into the 500. The 24-hour race...

It was a good day for us; track position was so huge and right out there at the end we were running third, we had a big battle on the pit box on what we...

I wouldn’t put my money on anybody. There’s too many variables.

I think at the end we sort of handed the win away when we didn’t take two tires. We could have gotten out ahead of those guys.

This track has not been kind to the Target Team,

I’d have to be satisfied to leave the track Sunday with another top-five finish. Of course it would be better to win, and that’s what we’re going there to do. That’s what 42 other guys...

I have to thank Elliott (Sadler) right there at the end. He gave me a really good shove.

Racing-wise I hate to see it go, but this sport is growing and changing. You’ve got to move with the times and do what’s going to help the sport grow.

You can ask Jimmie that, I’m just happy I finished second.

We still know there’s room for improvement. The Dodge teams have done a good job of finding ways to make the Charger work.

[On Michigan…] We had a great run going in June, … I think we had the fastest car out there most of the race. Jimmy (Elledge) and this team have these 1.5 to 2.0-mile tracks...

Last weekend we had a solid run going, but the bolt on the sway bar broke while we were running in the top 10. Hopefully this weekend we can start to put some good finishes...

The car got loose getting into three, and I just got up in the marbles.

We need to get on the stick pretty hard. Texas is definitely a good track for us to get back on track. Knock on wood, but I think we’ve got a lot of good races...

I think we’re proving as a team and I’m proving as a driver that we can run up front. Toward the end of last season and what we’ve accomplished this year, we’re somewhat validating the...

This year we’re a lot better prepared for it. We had a special paint scheme this year on my helmet and we’re going to auction that off. That’s going to go to the foundation, and...

At the end of the day it really doesn’t matter to me where I race as long as I’m racing every weekend,

You know, what a good day for us. I don’t even know what to say.

In the past, it was always … maybe in three or four years you’ll be a guy that is competitive. People expect you to be competitive your first year out now. Some of the older...

I think by no means is it resolved. I think we’ve narrowed in on it, for sure. But there are some issues we’re currently dealing with that we’re probably going to be dealing with the...

This is my fourth year in Cup. I was settling in with a team that has typically run a little bit better than we have over the last few years.

It was an eight-man decision on top of the box to take two or four, we decided to go with a conservative decision because we already had two cars in the fence that were running...

I had a really good feeling going into the Daytona 500. Throughout the whole week leading up to the 500, we just kept making more and more progress. We kept making the car better and...

I would hate personally to get penalized for something that my crew chief did that I didn’t even know about.

This season hasn’t gone the way we hoped, … There are 10 races left on the schedule, and we are going to continue to work hard. I still look forward to going to the track...

More than anything, the 24-hour race and everything leading up to the Daytona 500 on the Cup side was really positive. That gave us a lot of confidence going into the 500. The 24-hour race...

I can’t believe I’m making my 100th start in the Cup Series,

I wanted to go with Newman as soon as he pulled out, but the 38 [Sadler] had a big run on me and I had to block the bottom. It’s just tough to figure out...

[On the new rule…] NASCAR instituted a new camber rule beginning this weekend, … We will have to adjust on the Target Dodge a little, but I don’t expect it to make a huge difference....

I thought I was clear and I wasn’t. I came down on him,

It was a bittersweet time, the highest of highs and lowest of lows. You feel so guilty even calling, trying to get that ride, but at the same time, it’s the opportunity of a lifetime....

Dover has been a frustrating track for me. We’ve had top-10 cars at times, but couldn’t put the finishing touches on the race. This past spring we couldn’t get the car to turn right. Hopefully...

The best thing I’ve done when Tony was doing his interviews, I gave him a hug and put the watch up to his face. He’s a good sport. He’s a guy that’s going to get...

It has been a great opportunity for us to come out here and learn about what these guys do. Sometimes we forget how hard [Sailors] work to protect our freedom. To be able to take...

It’s great to know that we have the opportunity to make a difference in so many lives and help The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, … Last year I didn’t know what to think about driving...

I couldn’t be happier. The biggest thing is that it starts us out right in the points this year.

I think everybody knows what I want for my birthday. I’m going to knock on wood. Having a win here at Vegas would be a great birthday present. I know we can get the job...

The fact that they got caught earlier in the week (with a modified rear window) took every doubt out of my mind that they would actually do anything to possibly cheat in this race.

My first year when stuff like this happened it might mess things up. But these days, whenever the race starts, it starts. It doesn’t really change our outlook on the event.

It’ll be Dale Jr.. That’s who it will be.

We got some quick changes during the night that the other guys couldn’t do. We spent the least time in the pits and that’s what won us the race.

It’s not like I was going to a brand new team with a brand new crew chief and having to start from scratch. We’ve got some learning to do, but right out of the gate...

I thought about going with Newman there for a little bit. As soon as he pulled out, (Elliott Sadler) had a big run on me. I had to stay at the bottom.

Don’t get me wrong, those guys are driving hard and working hard, but their cars are not moving around a bunch, they’re not sideways, they’re not hanging out. They look fairly stuck [to the track]...

For me to be the first guy, considering all the other drivers who have tried to do it, is pretty unreal.

It’s unbelievable. There are only a few big races in the world and this is definitely one of them. I can’t believe we’re sitting up here right now and that we won this race. Everybody’s...
