We absolutely did not want to leave California outside of the top 10, but that's the hand we've been dealt. Now we'll just do our best to win this Saturday night. Hopefully we can pull a Jeremy Mayfield on all of them, winning the race and securing us a spot in the Chase. Last year was a nail-biter and it looks like this year will be, too.

It's a very high-pressure situation, but you expect people to have a lot of respect and race people like they always did. Whether that happens or not is just a situation of time will tell.

I was still happy to win them. Our goal in every race is to win.

We're not that far off and we know anything can happen.

We're still alive. We've got our heads just barely below water, but we've got time to pick it back up and get a breath of fresh air.

You'd like to expect clean racing, but I know (this race) last year it wasn't clean racing.

Biffle has a ton of talent, ... He's obviously a very, very car-control style of driver. He likes to hang the car out, which is totally cool as long as you can control it. He's proven this year for sure that he can.
