Jimmie and I have never been more committed to each other, to the team and to winning a championship than we are right now.

We stuck to our game plan, even when it was painful at times. We wanted to go test, we just knew it wasn’t time to start that just yet.

We were testing too close to an event. We didn’t have time to react once we got the cars back to the shop to make changes of any substance.

(Stewart and his team) are in a good spot right now, very similar to where we’ve been all year.

It’s great to be back. I have been looking forward to coming to Bristol probably for the first time in my career.

I hate to think they’re going to change the rules this far into the season that might affect us,

The crew chief nowadays … it’s not just setting up the car. It’s watching the guys, making sure they’re all doing it, making sure this guy is dressed right and he’s clean-shaven and all that...

I am really proud of what my guys were able to accomplish.

Do you not see what I go through every week?

It’s very cool and there is a lot of tradition here and I love to come here. I really like Darlington and Charlotte and tracks like that better, but I’d really love to win at...

I’m not saying we’ve got a hold on it, but I feel like we can win this championship if we don’t mess up. That’s going to be the key.

You get a team that goes out there and they find a little bit of something … that advantage is going to seem larger then it is if the rules were not as tight because...

It’s hard to place blame on anybody when you’re racing in a pack that is that close with the speeds those guys are running out there. For the most part they all do a pretty...

I do whatever I can to make my guys pumped up,

It was a pretty awesome fight, and I don’t think that any normal team can do that. It takes a team like what we’ve got.

His bell has definitely been rung. That was a pretty hard hit that he took out there.

We just had a little problem with the chain that holds the droop on the right rear. NASCAR didn’t like it the way it was. It wasn’t a big deal. We were trying to fix...

There’s fear at first, but you only understand what’s happening for a split second. Then, it’s over. Plus, if you hit something hard enough, it’ll rattle your head, which means you don’t really remember anything...

Everybody does whatever they can to find an advantage, … Maybe we found a small advantage there, and maybe they’re upset about it. But we’re not pushing gray areas, that’s a misconception.

Man, it was tough. But it is what I had to deal with.

Drivers don’t know what’ going in these race cars, ever. Jimmie isn’t really into knowing what is going on with the race cars. He shows up and drives and gives his feedback and goes home.

Obviously, we’re parked right next to each other in the garage,

Robbie has been a huge asset to me more so than anything else with the race car. He’s a very calming individual and he has a good sense about him and he has been through...

We pushed it a little too far. We got caught with something NASCAR didn’t like, they imposed a penalty on us, and we have to accept that.

In the face of adversity, this team fights so strong. We’ve got the best race car driver, the best team, the best engine, the best everything.

Just because I wasn’t at those race tracks doesn’t take anything away from what we’ve been doing. When I wasn’t here, I was just as happy for this team winning races as I was today.

We’ve got longevity to stay here and do whatever it is we need to do to win the championship. That’s something a lot of places don’t have.

This is probably the best chance we have to make it happen. This is the strongest our organization has ever been. Now its up to the teams to make it happen. If we don’t make...

To build a good super speedway car, it will take you about three months’ time. We used every bit of that to try to get this car built. ‘¦ Literally, the paint was still wet...

My goal is to maintain a top 10 position in the points through the first 13 races. From that point on, I want to make sure we are running in the top five. I want...

Maybe there were some people below minimum inflation tonight. If they were, and they had a tire issue, it cures itself. You’re only going to go out there a couple of times and have a...

It will by the time we’re done today.

Does it matter? Once we get to Loudon (N.H.) it basically starts over at zero . So I’m really not concerned about points. As long as we stay in the top 10, that’s all we...
