Well See you at Daytona International Speedway for Sprint Unlimited Shootout on Saturday Night, February 14, 2014 At 8pm On FOX Sports 1 DALE JR. QUOTES “I was hoping for a better result than this. I wanted a better finish for Steve, who was on the pit box for the last time with us. It’s been an awesome year, and I wish we could’ve ended it with another win, but this has been one of the best years of my career, and I hate to see it end. We had to battle back from a flat tire there early in the race, but we caught the yellow pretty quick. Steve made good adjustments all day, but we struggled on pit road some, and you’re going to have nights like that sometimes. I’d put my pit crew up against any of them. They’ve been phenomenal all year. We’ll take this one and move on. I want to congratulate Kevin Harvick on the championship. It’s great to see him win it, not just for himself but also for Tony (Stewart) and everyone at Stewart-Haas Racing. Congratulations to Hendrick Motorsports engines on another championship. Those motors powered our JR Motorsports car to a championship in the Nationwide Series, and then Kevin’s car to the Sprint Cup. Very happy for those guys, and everyone who made this season great.”
