It's ungodly, the pressure that we get as drivers,

It's ungodly, I think, the pressure we get as drivers, not only from our sponsors but our car owners. I think the Chase last year, people recognized how much recognition the top 10 guys got by being a part of the Chase. Every sponsor wants to be a part of it, every driver, every team, but there are only so many pieces of the pie.

I think it's up to the drivers. We don't know where the line is until somebody crosses it. Until somebody gets called in for a pass-through penalty, nobody really knows where the line is. I'm sure we're going to push the envelope come (today).

We just need to go up there and run the best way we can. I feel like the pressure is not on us. I think the guys that are only one or 11 points behind or 10 points ahead of 10th place have more pressure than we have.

In our position, you just can't mess up. (The pressure is) just amplified a little bit. But that's part of racing. For my team, the word points is not even going to come out of our mouths when we get to California. We're going there to win the race because we had so much fun there last year in victory lane.
