I do whatever I can to make my guys pumped up. And if I feel like telling my driver he is better than the 20 car in a particular run, and that pumps up my driver and that hurts Tony's feelings, well, I'm sorry.

His bell has definitely been rung. That was a pretty hard hit that he took out there.

I'm not saying we've got a hold on it, but I feel like we can win this championship if we don't mess up. That's going to be the key.

It will by the time we're done today.

It was a pretty awesome fight, and I don't think that any normal team can do that. It takes a team like what we've got.

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

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

Does it matter? Once we get to Loudon (N.H.) it basically starts over at zero . So I'm really not concerned about points. As long as we stay in the top 10, that's all we need.

This is probably the best chance we have to make it happen. This is the strongest our organization has ever been. Now its up to the teams to make it happen. If we don't make it happen, its our own fault.
