Well, it’s really important. We wanted to win here tonight, but Kyle got a great restart there. Congratulations to Kyle Busch and that whole Hendrick team. Those guys have been coming on a win for...

We share information really well together all the teams do and we give each other racing room, … It’s fun to race with Matt and these other guys. Man, it’s just unbelievable that our cars...

That’s not too bad considering what happened to us today, … We just did what we could and that was all we could do. It was a tough day, but we kind of came back...

It was clear we had a winning car. Some of the lapped cars were being tough to pass. I put them down a lap early. Our car was so good, and our car was still...

I doubt whether we’ll have five cars in the Chase this year.

I’ve qualified second I don’t know how many times. Qualifying isn’t my strong suit.

His car was similar to mine when he won Atlanta versus me finishing third, and it was just who was in front. It was merely track position at the end of the race, so he’s...

That got me up in the fence, and then my car wouldn’t go. That knocked the toe out of it, but I guess it’s a good thing it happened then and not in the middle...

We’re in a race car three days a week which also keeps us in shape. You know, that’s like working out… .

Below me, it’s looking grim, … For four guys in front of you to have a problem is pretty unlikely. For one or two guys, it can happen. Three, yeah, but to have four (or...

[Driver Greg Biffle said a member of his crew took a photo of the Hendrick cars failing the height inspection at Dover.] The way I look at it is when you present the car for...

I really like racing at California,

There at the end, we were running down the 21 (Jeff Burton) and the 60 (Edwards). We passed the 39 (Newman) and were closing in on them pretty good. I felt like I would probably...

It was the kind of day we were hoping for up until (Dale Earnhardt) Junior spun (Travis Kvapil),

It’s something I’m going to think about for a long, long time. I lost the championship by 35 points and we lost over 50 (points) with the loose wheel.

Congratulations to Kyle. Those guys have been wanting a win for a while.

We share information really well together — all the teams do — and we give each other racing room, … It’s fun to race with Matt and these other guys. Man, it’s just unbelievable that...

It kind of gets in your head about how you’re going to end up after this race, … I don’t think we’re as good as we were here last time. … We’ll do our best,...

At the end, I’d get behind Kurt, I’d get close to him. I tried everything. I pulled out the whole handbook and I couldn’t really do a lot with him.

It was hard to tell a lot of difference between the two cars. The balance seems really good on it, and I’m real happy with it so far.

It’s going to be easy to make up the first six spots. The next six are going to be tougher.

Have you ever seen that show, ‘My Name is Earl?’ —- karma. It’s really not playing fair.

Let them have the attention, … I believe we’ve got a great chance to win this thing. It could get real interesting.

We were pretty confident coming I here and we’re still confident that we’ll be able to make our way towards the front, … It just depends on what the 20 does. If he passes all...

We’ve got our best race cars and I’m prepared, … We’re going to do the best we can.

That’s all the practice we get for the entire weekend! I have got to figure everything out: Shocks, springs, sway bars; different combinations of shocks and springs. What if I want to do some tire-pressure...

It would have been a different race if we could have pitted for tires with 16 laps to go, but that just didn’t happen,

I can’t say what happened because we didn’t have a failure all year.

I like a little bit looser car. So we’re able to make changes for a driver’s style and I think we’re going to lose a lot of that, maybe, in the future.

It was pretty incredible to race a guy like that for the win, it was pretty neat,

I’d start getting close to him, to within about two car-lengths, and it would just start chattering the tires. If I could have got in front of Kurt I feel like I could have driven...

Just had to dig, fight real hard to get back, to get past all those cars. Once I got there, my tires were used up,

It did its job. They sure stop your head from moving too far forward.

He just ran into the back of me and turned me into the fence. It’s a little bit of a give-and-take game out there. If you get a run on somebody down the straightaway, you...

I really enjoy running the Busch car. I have a lot of fun with it, and the more seat time I can get, the better. I hate it when there is a race going on...

Then you have to answer to your car owner, you have to answer to the sponsor, you have to answer to all these folks why you’re not racing. But that’s the only way it will...

If I was a little freer I might have got him.

It’s a hard thing not to be overconfident.

They’re going to be very hard to beat,

It wasn’t the car I was thinking I was going to have. But the guys did a great job in the pits, and I kept it off the wall and didn’t get any flat tires....

We wanted to be up in the top 10…we maybe came up a tenth (of a second) short of what we could have been, but I’m still happy.

We’d love to sweep California. I’d love to get back in Victory Lane; I don’t care where it’s at. We’re not taking the same car we won with back to California. We’re taking a better...

It’s frustrating. We didn’t have an engine failure all season last year.

I know the 24 came down and kind of gave me a door slam down the backstretch.

It was unfortunate. (The car) got from under us in the second lap. It would have been a good solid lap for the race, but now we’re going to suffer really bad. It’s going to...

When your name gets put in a sentence with Jeff Gordon, that’s a bid deal. I have a lot of respect for Jeff Gordon.

Just didn’t have anything left on them. I thought I was going to hit the fence, wasn’t sure which way I was going to hit the fence, but was able to get it back together...

You really have to pay attention,

We can’t dwell on the past. We just have to bounce back at Phoenix. Our goal now is just try to make the top 10 (by the second Richmond race).

All of the teams are running good. But the 20 car is still better than all of us.
