Believe it or not, when practice begins on Thursday morning at Texas Motor Speedway, that will be the first time I've ever even sat in a Grand National car.
More Quotes from Kurt Busch:
The crew gave me great equipment to drive. I'm real proud of this effort. It's a race leading up to the Chase. We have to go and we need consistent finishes, so I'm happy.Kurt Busch
We did what we needed to do and I thought it turned out well, ... I just came up a bit short on Jimmie Johnson.

Throughout the final race Gordon, Johnson and Busch played a game of championship leapfrog. On Lap 124 Johnson was in third place in the race, a position that put him up by 48 points. By Lap 178 Gordon was in third place and atop the standings by 36 points. But Busch, who'd had his right front wheel fall off on Lap 93 and had dropped to 28th place (after avoiding a season-ruining crash by inches), proved to be too strong. Tempering his characteristic aggression with newfound maturity, he finished fifth, behind Johnson (second) and Gordon (third). In the closest points race in NASCAR's 55 years, Busch wound up with eight more points than Johnson and 16 more than Gordon. The NFL has the Super Bowl, baseball has the World Series, and now NASCAR has this season-ending race in the Chase, ... I've never driven so hard in my life. Man, what a couple of weeks.

It's a good and a bad thing we're here testing at Richmond. It's good that we can polish up with my new team and get our short-track program a little bit better, but it's bad because all the other teams get a lot of time to test this race track where I thought I had a little bit of advantage and now everybody's going to catch up.

You can still be a competitor and be well-rounded. You've got to have that edge on the track. It's just a matter of flipping a switch and becoming a good guy with your public image.

Las Vegas is a unique place to represent. For one thing, most everybody is shipped in from different areas. You're never from Vegas. I'm one of the few who was born and raised there. ... I want to win the Las Vegas 400 just as bad as the Daytona 500.
