brother dream gate great mexico nascar pushed south succeed successful
It was my brother and I who pushed NASCAR for years to come to Mexico, so this is like a dream come true. This is a great, great facility. And Mexico is the gate to South America. You have to be successful in Mexico if you want to succeed in South America.
amount bit casey daytona deal earlier gone good great money paid pain pays shot struggles surprised teams thats time win won
I think were going to have a good day today, but we should have a good day every time we come to the racetrack. Thats what we get paid for. I wasnt surprised that Casey won the pole. I think if Sterling had gone out earlier he would have had a real shot to win the pole.Our teams have had some struggles this year. Some of the pain has been self-inflicted, and some of the things we just couldnt help. Itd be great to win here today. In a way, its just another race, but its a big deal to win Daytona and a big deal to win Indy. Really, its a big deal to win anywhere. It pays the same amount of points, but the money is a little bit different.

Little E said if they call me to come do something I'll get in my car and go to downtown Charlotte, but I'm not going to Atlanta. That had a lot of influence on the decision.

To make a hall of fame successful they need drivers to make appearances. These guys are not going to get in an airplane to fly to Atlanta to do appearances.
agree bunch car convert couple dollars exercise fast guys millions nascar personally shop spend teams thats today tomorrow yesterday
Personally I think its a bunch of crap. All thats doing is making the teams spend millions of dollars to convert and those guys in the shop are going to make that car go just as fast in a couple of years as its going today. So were going through this exercise and the car of tomorrow is just making everything we own today the car of yesterday and two years from now were going to be right where we are today. NASCAR has to do what they think is right, but I dont agree with them. Thats just my personal opinion.
