I guess the last time I was in the Budweiser Shootout was 1992. I finished third in the first segment and eighth in the second. It's just a chance for your team to have some fun. It's a lot like the All-Star race where you get the chance to take the gloves off and fight for first. I'm real proud that I was able to win a pole last year and get my new NAPA team into the Shootout. And now we get to go out and try to win it.

I never thought I would be a car owner in the Cup series. But then I thought, if I can plug into this, I can go race with these guys. ... Now I've got cars. I can race these people.Michael Waltrip
When Texas opened it was so great because the fans were awesome and the place looked so big and nice. I couldn't wait to get there. But once we raced on it, that feeling went away. The track originally made me sick to my stomach, because you just couldn't race there. It wasn't much fun for the drivers or the fans.

I drove a little tentative at a couple of points because it was loose, and then I was mad at myself because I thought maybe I should have tried a little harder. But then I saw Rusty crash and I thought maybe I did the right thing.

I ran out of brains with about five to go and hit the wall a couple of times. I just saw Kurt and wanted to win so bad. I'd rather mess up trying. I did all I could.
