To build a good super speedway car, it will take you about three months' time. We used every bit of that to try to get this car built. … Literally, the paint was still wet on it when we loaded it on the truck Thursday.

The crew chief nowadays ... it's not just setting up the car. It's watching the guys, making sure they're all doing it, making sure this guy is dressed right and he's clean-shaven and all that kind of stuff, all those little things that truly contribute to the performance of the team.

It will by the time we're done today.

(Stewart and his team) are in a good spot right now, very similar to where we've been all year.

We were testing too close to an event. We didn't have time to react once we got the cars back to the shop to make changes of any substance.

It's great to be back. I have been looking forward to coming to Bristol probably for the first time in my career.
