NASCAR-CUP: Bristol II: Winning team interview, part 2

Continued from <a href="article.asp?ID=198871">part 1</a>

DO YOU BELIEVE IN PEAKING? "I don't know how I can answer about sports
teams for sure, but I know in our business that momentum is very
important. It's a weird thing. If we do make the chase and we do get to
the top 10, I'll feel really good about it - not just because we made the
top 10 because, to me, it's not just about making the top 10. I mean, if
I'm gonna finish seventh in points or 12th in points, honestly, I don't
really care. If we make the top 10, I want to make the top 10 with a
chance at winning a championship. Last year we made the top 10, I felt
like in my heart that we weren't gonna run for a championship anyway. I
didn't think we were running good enough. I just didn't feel like we had
our ducks in a row to do that and we ended up finishing eighth with some
mistakes I made and so on. This year, the way we've run the last couple
months if we were more consistent, but our performance is so good that I
feel like if we could slide our way in there right now, we're on a high
note and I do think momentum does carry for a while. You could see it
with Greg at the beginning of the year and, yeah, he's still running
really great, but in the beginning of the year he couldn't do nothing
wrong. If we're lucky enough to get in a stretch like that and carry
that on for a few races in the chase, I feel like we're running good
enough to be a threat. It's only five points a position and if we can
get in that, I think we could be a threat to challenge everybody with the
way everybody is running right now. That's what I feel the best about."
