Brian Vickers Quotes

The 5 and 25 teams have been hitting on all eight cylinders since July. I knew it was only a matter of time until one of the teams went to Victory Lane. I try not to think too much about getting that first win. We`ll continue doing what we`ve been doing for the last two months and when it comes, it comes.

I thought everyone was doing a good job. It all broke loose. This is my first time at Daytona, and I got the full skinny.

The bottom came out of it.

Everyone did a great job,

We`re going to continue doing what we`ve been doing for the last two months and when it comes, it comes.

(Brian Vickers was livid Saturday after he got black flagged for passing a car on the left during a late restart in the Busch race. Vickers seemed to have a half-decent excuse: The car in front of him missed a shift and it was either pass him or rear-end him.) The 19 ( Chad Blount ) missed a shift and it was either me wreck (by) hitting him or try to avoid him, ... That`s racing. When somebody misses a shift it`s a basic maneuver -- you either wreck or be wrecked and we went low to miss him. I never passed him before the start/finish line. It`s the front bumper that counts and it was a bad call.

I always try to take as much time off as I can. You`re just that much better when you get back.

Even though (McGrew) and I have worked together in the past, a lot of guys on the team were new, some were even new to Hendrick Motorsports. It was a learning process for all of us.

At the beginning of the season, a lot of people were expecting success right out of the box, but even we knew that was not going to happen.

But, I am happy with the result.
