We just haven't performed this year. We're pathetic. Everywhere we go, we either stink or we're good. So I don't know what will happen at Richmond.

We sucked tonight. It was pathetic.

This was a really good match. Everywhere you look, there was a match that could go either way.

It was really a pathetic year. Some of the things I did — some of the crashes I was in — I didn't need to be in. I forced the issue.

We won the 150, and we're on the front row and we won the Daytona 500 last year and the Talladega race. I think that's enough for guys to know we're on the radar screen. I would hope that people would think we're one of the guys to beat.

When you've got the Daytona 500 out there at stake and everything riding on the line, guys go for it, and the guys that go for it are the ones that are either going to win or they're going to wreck.
