Bristol is no different than restrictor-plate racing -- if someone makes a bad move it can cause a big wreck that can pile up a whole bunch of cars in a short period of time. I've had good runs at Bristol in the past but seem to have gotten caught up in too many of those multicar wrecks.

I felt that I needed to branch out, ... I enjoyed racing in Nashville but there's a limit as to how far you can go there.

I disagree with him, but that's what makes horse racing.

Dale Jr. and somebody got together and shot up in front of me and I got into the back of them. My brakes locked up and the impact crunched the nose in. The Army car never drove the same after that. It was a pretty frustrating deal to have a car drive that good and then all of a sudden get wounded. For a while we had an easy top-10 car.

I think a tire was going down on Hamlin's car. He slammed on the brakes and I ran into him hard and smashed in my grille pretty good. That made the car real tight for the rest of the race.

The Army car was good all day. We were in good position to make a move at the end. But some of the guys were driving stupid by brake checking and doing everything they could do to cause a wreck.
