It looks like we've stretched out a little cushion over a couple of guys,

This was an amazing run, ... We just overcame a lot of stuff. The guys did an incredible job of keeping their cool in the pits and changing out what we needed. It was just a great night of teamwork. These guys kept me in the game all night long, and I owe it to them.

To Frazier's credit, they scratched their way back. But we had a couple of guys step up.

I really enjoy the football season.

Driving will never be away from me - I can't just give it up. It's all I've ever done, and there's something about being in that car.

The air temperature dropping and the track cooling down helps. Also the air that runs through the engine is a lot cooler so it builds more power and more speed. There definitely was some advantage to going later. It's hard to really tell how much. We were 8th or 9th on the board during practice, and then qualified 3rd. So I think it helped some.
