car hop truck
It's not that I'm never going to get in a car or truck again. I'll probably hop in there every now and then just for fun.
cars few gain pit places prima stops treated
They're treated like prima donnas. But a lot of that is because pit stops are even more important now than they used to be. The cars are all so equal, pit stops are one of the few places you can gain an advantage.
close craftsman definitely great joey miller series truck watching
I've been watching Joey Miller in the ARCA Series and he's done a great job, ... If he can come close to what he's done in ARCA in the Craftsman Truck Series, that would definitely be big for us.
changing egg fortunate goose plan truck victory win
I've been fortunate to win many times, in many series. But there is still that goose egg in the truck series. I plan on changing that come Oct. 22nd, when it's one and done for me. The No. 17 made it to Victory Lane, so I'd like to get (my No.) 12 there, too.
bigger bonus charlotte damn diminished few handful million money paid pays races season sights southern three threw value won
With a $16 million purse, it's pretty damn important. Just a few years ago, we only had a handful of big races that paid big money that you really wanted to win. It was Daytona, the Charlotte 600; they threw Indianapolis in there and the Southern 500. They paid you a $1 million bonus if you won three of those races. Those are the ones you set your sights on when the season started. Now, everything pays $1 million, and that has diminished the value of some of our bigger races.

sports thinking mirrors
Our sport is in a changing of the guard right now. It happens every 10 or 15 years, and Brad is the leader of that change at the moment. Sometimes his words and outspokenness offend some folks, but he doesn’t back down from his comments. He doesn’t back down in his driving either, and when competitors see him coming in the rearview mirror, they have to be wondering what he’ll do and what he’s thinking. I think fans love that and gravitate to drivers like Brad.

NASCAR logic isn't always logical.
jesus selfish real
You're real selfish and everything is focused on you and how you feel until you realize there is something missing and that's your relationship with Jesus Christ.
