against expect hold lap last
When it comes down to the last lap I can't expect anything out of those guys. If they go with me, great. But if they don't, I'm not going to hold it against them.
finish race three wants
When it comes down to the end of the race, a 1-2-3 finish is great. But all three of us wants to be 1.
continue last months
We're going to continue doing what we've been doing for the last two months and when it comes, it comes.
advantage blocked ended front gone harder low might momentum past run saw took
We ended up getting in front of the 24, but I saw he had a run on us. I blocked him and it took the momentum off him, but the 48 (Johnson) took advantage of that to get past him and then he got past me. Jimmie got low on me and I should have gone harder to block him, but then again, we all might have wrecked.
guys pushing respect
Those guys still respect him out there, and they're still pushing him to wins.
coming neither pressure rick
Rick hasn't put any pressure on me, and neither have my sponsors. The most pressure is coming from myself.
dumbest guess hope meetings nascar
I guess the NASCAR meetings haven't been enough for some people. I have no idea what he was thinking. That was one of the dumbest things I've seen. I hope I don't find him.
bill boring clean daytona doctor health ready testing though
Even though testing at Daytona can be boring at times, I really wanted to be there. I got a clean bill of health from my doctor just this morning, so I'm ready to go.
guys learning past process team though together worked
Even though (McGrew) and I have worked together in the past, a lot of guys on the team were new, some were even new to Hendrick Motorsports. It was a learning process for all of us.
against easy grudge hold last pass respected sit tried win
It's easy for me to sit here and say, 'Hey, this would have been my first win, Jimmie, why did you try to pass me?' Well, this was a win for him, too. I can't hold a grudge against him for that. If he wouldn't have tried to pass me for a win on the last lap, I don't know if I would have respected that.
broke full good time
I thought everyone was doing a good job. It all broke loose. This is my first time at Daytona, and I got the full skinny.
bottom quick
I went to the bottom as quick as I could ... he just got under there.
