Kyle Busch Quotations

We decided we were going to get tires no matter what, ... On that last lap, I just had to keep my foot in it.

Whenever you're near Junior's car, you go faster. He just pulls you along in the draft.

Maybe he wasn't trying to wreck me, but he was definitely trying to loosen me up to get a spot.

Right now, it's a time for our team to shine. What we're doing to this year is something very special -- to hopefully backup our championship. It's fun to work with everybody right now and see everyone pulling together.

I don't know what it is about me being able to come in on pit road on old tires here at Daytona and Talladega. For some reason I'm pretty good at coming into pit road, but then as soon as I get down into my stall, I get in there a little too hot.

I can't see what I'm doing from inside the race car while I'm outside it, so I guess I'll have to have a sit-down (with Stewart) and figure out what went wrong. I want to clear the air because I don't want to get dumped at Atlanta. Atlanta will hurt.

If a young kid 12 or 15 years old wants to sign with a big-name team, more power to him. That just means that he's been recognized at a young age and that he's got the ability there that the team has been looking for.

He did and he didn't. He had a sense of 'Yeah, OK, that makes sense but still, I don't care.' He's in his race car trying to run his race and I'm trying to run my race. Sometimes conflicts happen.

We talked a little bit. It was a good conversation. A civil one. We just talked about what I aggravated him with last week and we both decided to move along and see how we can race the rest of the year.

Here at Dover, this is one of the toughest tracks that I have been able to get accustomed to,

I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. We were five-wide and I didn't have any place to go. I'm sorry if everybody wants to put the blame on me.

Literally, I swear we could run 600 miles on this tire, I don't think we're going to need pit stops, the tires are going to be that durable.

That was a great run for us. We have a good race car. It's the sister car to what we won with here last fall, so hopefully (my team) can make it just as good, if not better.

That was a pretty good lap for us, it was about what we ran here last year.

You just hope you're not around it. I guess it's almost inevitable, sometimes. It's easier to do it at a short track than it is at a speedway (and) if you're going to do it, it's a lot safer.

Usually, things in the media are false and that's just what it comes down to sometimes, I'm not going there, bud.

We were a little too tight at the end and couldn't get the fresh air we needed. I was hoping he might be little looser and chase up the track.

We're trying to get there. It would be exciting to put our names in the record books as brothers.

With about 40 laps to go, it's time to race and time to get after it and that's what I was doing. If I did something and aggravated Stewart, well, I'm sorry.

There have been some instances where I've put my car in situations where maybe I should have thought a little bit differently about. But that's any driver. It's all about trying to gain respect. That's something that's important to me. I hope I've done a great enough job on that. I'm only in the start of my second year, so there's still a little bit more to do.

We're not out to let back or do anything slouchy. If we've got to turn a little sideways to make a move, we'll do it.

There are guys you race with and there are guys you can't.

You can learn a few things. but it's more so throughout the race having adjustability built into your car.

We were out at the sand dunes and had a good time and talked a little bit. It's just all about how to be patient.

It was a judgment call by NASCAR, and there's nothing we can do about it now. I tried getting down in front of him, but I ran him below the yellow line, I guess.

A pole here at Bristol is awesome. That's what you need here where track position is everything.

You're going to have guys points racing of course,

There was really nothing I could've done. It was way too early to be going five wide. I was minding my own business in my own lane. It's just one of those deals. We got clipped in the back by (Edwards) -- not his doing. He didn't have much room.

There's a lot of trial and error. A lot of the stuff fails. A lot of the stuff works. Overall, it's about trying to find the happy medium of the day.

It's a really great race track the way it is now.

It's all a heck of a lot busier than I expected.

It's one of the things that you fight though when your car is good enough to win, your teammates car is good enough to win, too. It's a tight spot to be in, but as far as the team orders or anything, there was none of that.

It's not that there were some (penalties called) that were or were not necessary. It's just that they are judgment calls that may or may not need to be made and they made them. We just have to go on. We finished where we finished.

It's not whether you are getting boos or cheers, it's who gets the most noise. Right now it's close between Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt Jr., but the Busch brothers are steadily climbing that rope.

It's going to be about who has the best car at the end of a run, not just who is fast.

It's been one of those years where you just try to keep going and learn on what you need to do to make yourself better. You just have to keep going.

It's probably hurt me more. Now I have to live up to his expectations. I have my own going for me now.

You talk like Kurt and I are wrecking people intentionally. That's ludicrous! That's absurd! That statement is about as silly as someone celebrating a race win in 80-degree weather in Texas with a snow angel.

That guy is a driving machine. He's unbelievable.

No, I still have that yellow stripe on. You have got to wait to take that off.

It's weird that this is where my first win would come. I was crushed by that 2001 ruling. But this makes up for it.

It's very frustrating to be involved in an incident like this so early in the race, and of course everything that's been circled around me and everything else so far this year.

I had the best seat in the house. The car was one of the best I've had at Vegas, but it was a little too loose.

I really wanted to create my own identity and not be so closely linked with my brother, so I chose to go with Hendrick. But there's no question that my big break in the sport came about because of Kurt. At the same time I wouldn't be here if I couldn't hack it. I plan on being in the Chase next year.

I looked in my mirror and saw all this stuff around me and then I realized I was going to go across the line first, so that was great, ... But I'm sorry we tore up a good Chevy Silverado truck. It's my favorite.

I know Jimmie is a chase driver, but it doesn't much matter to me, I'm trying to race as hard as I can to win,

I ran him below the yellow line, I guess, but I moved back up and gave him room.

Being able to run that well in our home town gives me a lot of pride.

I'd have to say right now he's probably looking toward the top five in the point standings, ... even though I'd love to believe that he could still get the championship.

Come up and talk to the driver about it. Help me out. I'm a young guy and I'm trying to learn. If you want to teach me something, come up and discuss it with me and tell me what I need to do differently.

This is a great way to start with a new group of guys. Our Dodge was fast today and hopefully it was still be fast on Sunday.

All in all, it's just a great experience to be out here and run with the best of them. We need to build a championship team for next year.

The guys are doing an unbelievable job, ... I didn't think the lap was all that good, but it held up. We've really been running well here as of late. Hopefully we can keep it going the rest of the year.

The final restart, after that pit stop, I figured we were in pretty good shape,

And he really doesn't know where he is most of the time.

It was a battle all day with our M&M's Camry. I don't know why, we just didn't have what we needed. We never seemed to have the ticket we needed today. We got better all day, which was a positive and salvaged something out of nothing -- so all things considering it was okay. It's so late in the year, you're just running laps now and getting what you can get and seeing if you can win next weekend at Homestead to finish the year.

Practice for us went pretty well. It started out slow, but guys did a real nice job on the M&M’s Camry today to get us to where we needed to be. Everybody back at the shop is building some great stuff and TRD (Toyota Racing Development) making some improvements for the Chase here this weekend and whatnot. Having a good time there in practice means a lot, but there’s obviously a lot of things that need to happen in the race this weekend for us and getting off to a good start and being able to carry that into the next 10 weeks.

Fair is fair; all love is war.

The thing you want to be able to do is to be well-liked when you retire. I know right now I'm not close to retiring, and I'm not close to being liked.
