Dale Jr Hard Quotations

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 hard for him to decide what he wants to do.

I felt like we had a top-15 car all day but we were right outside of that all day, down on horsepower a little bit which was really evident this weekend. So we need to work really hard at the shop on that.

It has always had a nice kind of grip, which makes it easier for rookie drivers to come in and get comfortable, but the setup is still hard to find. I think when you win somewhere you always carry that confidence into that track no matter what happens.

The 48 (Johnson) ran into the 38 (Sadler) and I ran into them. That was an accident and accidents happen. We're all together so it's hard to miss something when you're going so fast. You can turn left, but the car is still going straight. It's just frustrating.

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 all the lapped traffic. That's just Bristol. You can't take a break at any time. The moment you think you're doing good, it'll jump up and deal you a nasty blow.

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 when he needed to.

Target is to run as good as you can every week. Everything else kind of takes cares of itself. We just go out there and race as hard as we can, take the car we got, do the best we can with it every week.
