You know with Jeff Gordon what you need to fix. You don't know how to fix it — that's what we're all going to work for — but when you do fix it, it'll be a great thing.

I think it's a group effort. I hope that will show on Sunday.

I look forward to it. I'm a racer, I've raced my whole life. When I lay down at night, there's nothing I want more than to know it was on you. I welcome the pressure. That's what I want to do.

As far as pumping up the team, we reorganized a little personnel on the team. I'm excited with the changes we've made.

That's the most comforting thing in the world. He's the best I've ever seen. You know with Jeff Gordon what you need to fix. That's what we're all going to work for. When we do fix it, it's going to be a great thing, hopefully.

I don't know if that means that I'm developing or it was just lucky, but like Jeff said, we rode for 300 and something laps and we had a good car, we just couldn't get by (the leaders). I heard Jeff make a comment that he thinks our car would be really good in clean air, so we just stayed out.

My responsibility is to all of the people who have invested money and time into this team. Jeff is a phenomenal talent and there's so much support here at Hendrick that I don't feel it's only on my shoulders. I think in the last 10 races of 2005 we showed glimmers of where we need to be. If we didn't set a goal to win a championship I'd be disappointed.
