There are two really good feelings. The first is when you land sponsorships that allow you to be competitive. Then to win a race is the icing on the cake that you've made with the sponsorship.

We've got a good race car that we think we can take to the front on Thursday, and there are also four other good cars that could help us out if they run well. It's not a lock, but I'm happy with our effort.

No. Let's race to win every race. If we can't win, let's take a fifth or 10th or 12th-place finish or whatever it may be. But let's go to try and win every race.

I am the driver. I am the owner, kind of the sponsor, except for our sponsorship with Dodge.

First and foremost, I want to apologize for the words I chose immediately after our race had ended. I let my emotions get the better of me and I apologize.

If anything on the car is going to blow up or fall off, you usually see it happen in the 600. But it's also survival for the drivers because it's such a long race and it's usually hot at Charlotte. It's hard for drivers to feel good for the whole 400 laps.
