We are going to win six or seven races and be in the top three in the Chase. If we don’t win the championship, it won’t be by much.

That’s life. You’ve got to deal with it, good and bad. We’ll be all right. I mean, if we make the chase, we make it. If we don’t, we don’t.

We passed the second-place car, and then ran away from him [late in the race]. So if you paid real close attention to what happened today — well, I don’t know if I can explain...

If Tony Jr. and I are going to work together next year, that’d be a good idea to begin work on that relationship.

We beat on it pretty hard, but we kept coming back. ‘¦My crew, to be able to cut everything off and get me back on the race track without losing a lap, it was a...

I think we’re all right. I think we’re going to start third and fifth. I don’t know; the 38’s on the pole, right?

The thing about Bristol is you can be really good but still caught up in a wreck. That’s probably the main concern. Even if you’re the leader, it’s hard to miss wrecks sometimes because of...

He just needs to realize that he’s right on that brink of really ticking off somebody he doesn’t want to tick off. I think he’ll figure it out.

You learn more from your mistakes than you do from your success, and last year I learned a lot. That was an unfortunate season but maybe I needed to experience it to get back mentally...

It takes a lot away from the credibility of the sport if you’re giving somebody a helping hand to make it more exciting. I just don’t feel like it’s fair to those drivers. I don’t...

I want to run in the top five and lead some laps.

I’m not going to tell you, but I think everybody knows where we are headed and what we are going to do. I think it should get us back in Victory Lane a lot more...

He pulled the ‘Dale Earnhardt’ card on us, said we should have been there. But they were the same people who told us we didn’t have to go.

I thought we were going to pull through and get one at Atlanta, one of the better tracks for me. But we do run good every time we come here. Some guys have this place...

I’m just going to keep driving and have a good time doing it.

I’ve always been a big fan of Car and Track. Bud Lindemann had the vision to bring auto racing to television over 30 years ago. I watched every episode as a kid and still watch...

I’m excited to be here and really impressed with the professionalism and attention to detail the Navy demonstrates.

This was a good start for our team.

I think what Chad did is nothing new in the garage.

I’m hungry, our whole team’s hungry. I want to get off to a fast start and prove to the fans and everybody that this team’s strong.

I’m really disappointed running like this. I’m surprised it’s been this way most of the year, but now we have to go out and try to win races. We quit worrying about points a long...

I think we’re going to come into the Chase being top three in the points. We’ll have six or seven wins this season, if not more.

As a driver, I get called overrated all the time. So it is just good to get out there, put on a good race, get a good finish, and have good runs to remind people...

I’m surprised. I bet you all are surprised. That’s the way it goes.

Because I am sure NASCAR is going to ask the drivers to make a few appearances.

The only thing that sucks worse than a bad finish is a bad finish with a fast racecar.

Listeners to my new show on XM will get a real sense of who I am both on and off the track. Thanks to XM, I’ll have a national weekly radio show that allows me...

We fought a push all day. Even on that last lap, I went to the outside of the 38 (Elliott Sadler), got a real big push and had to back up.

In a situation like that … no matter how great a relationship he has with a driver, the less people that know about it, the better.

We’re making some great ground on these tracks. This is the best opportunity I’ve had as a driver and the team is really capable from top to bottom.

Not even worried about it. I’m having fun driving these race cars, and that’s all I think about. We dug ourselves a pretty big hole [in the standings], so I’m just going to keep driving...

It comes down to knowing what you are doing out there. There are guys there, not naming any names, but there are guys you don’t wan to get bump-drafted by. And there are guys that...

I brought him here to see if he could understand some of the things and see a little bit how they’re kind of off base on a couple areas. He’s got a notepad, he’s been...

It’s been a long week.

Fame is a lot of fun. Fame gets you to boxing matches, football games and cool stuff.

I really think that’ll happen. I’ve informally talked to Richard (Childress), just so he knew I wanted to do that. I’ll drive the No. 3 car toward the end of my career if I’ve done...

Pops won’t decide. He has been at DEI a long time so it’s hard for him to just up and leave. But at the same time he wants me to succeed with this, so it’s...

We came down here and ran great. That’s all I wanted to do.

I think it’s best left in the driver’s hands and the crew’s hands on how they handle this issue. I don’t think NASCAR can step in and make any improvements. They’ll probably make the situation...

You’re on the radio. You’re not thinking about your language. They spend $10 million on a TV program, and they can’t keep that from happening. That’s ridiculous. Somebody is a real moron.

This test right here is very important, very key for our team, not only just for this race (March 12 at Las Vegas), but for a lot of tracks. We’ll need to learn as much...

They defend everything we believe in. It’s very important that the troops know that all Americans support them. And although their job may be difficult, they’ve got a lot of people behind them.

For example, one of the more common ones is if a guy races you really hard, and it seems pointless at the time, then next time when he’s in a position that he needs a...

We’ll find something else to run into each other with if it ain’t the front bumper.

When you go into California and don’t run well, and come to Vegas and don’t run well, it puts a lot of pressure on you. But we finished 11th at California, and that’s our goal...

We had enough race car, just not enough time. We started off tight, and we’ve been fighting it in our practices. We still have some work to do on it.

I love racing and I love XM, so I definitely couldn’t pass up on an opportunity to combine the two. It’s a perfect fit.

It’s pretty hard to figure out what is going on with that team, especially with the talent behind the wheel. He’s just always been the one guy who could flip a switch and get going...

It, obviously, doesn’t seem like five years. You know, it’s good that he’s still on people’s minds. People still miss him. I still like to see the (No.) 3 stickers in the back of everybody’s...

You’ve got a lot of young guys in there that haven’t been in the sport that long, and they’re climbing in these cars with all this safety equipment, and they don’t remember when they didn’t...
