Jeff Gordon Trying Quotations

I don't know what it was. I was just trying to hold on, because I was completely sideways and my teammates (were) behind me.

He was a hard guy to hate even when we were trying to get a contract.

There aren't any issues other than it's just really, really fast. We're trying to push the limits of the car and the tires.

I was just trying to hold on because I was completely sideways and my teammates behind me were trying not to get into me. They were racing one another. They got pretty excited. Unfortunately I didn't get as excited as I wanted to for the lead.

We're all trying to win races and we're all out trying to occupy the same amount of real estate. I would expect we're going to see more and more of it.

We're still not where we need to be on these types of tracks, but it's a learning process. We're learning from everything we're trying with the cars -- whether it works or not. Not every adjustment we make will work, but it gives us more data to make better decisions.

With his mom and some of the illnesses she's gone through, Robbie is trying to decide right now what his plans are. It has nothing to do with our performance. I believe 100 percent in Robbie Loomis and his abilities. When we're on, there's nobody better.

To me, it's going to come down to driving our hearts out, doing everything we can and then trying to get ourselves in the best position.

I made some moves that lost some momentum trying to win the race.

There's always pressure on everyone. It doesn't matter if you're trying to get into the top 35 in points or just trying to make the race or make the top 10, or if you're leading the points and trying to win a championship. There's extreme pressure throughout the field. You might be in a position where you don't know if you have a ride next year, you might not have a sponsor. There's always pressure on all of us.

We just want to be able to focus on our program, on our people, on what we have to do to be as strong as we can as a team to compete for wins, compete for championships, and build that together without there being too many outside distractions. If we ever say we want to go under the radar, that's what we're trying to do.

You may be leading, then you might be at the back of the pack trying to work your way up. It's just a constant reminder not to give up, and to know that God, in my mind, is really in control.
