believe casey chase faith himself knew listen radio tried work year
I always knew Casey had the ability, I always had faith in him. I would listen to him on the radio and he never panicked, he always just tried to work his way through every situation. This is a big year for him and I believe he's going to put himself in the Chase for the championship.
car career difference dress drink drivers guys history light lights race racing switch talk turn work
In racing you've got to be pretty, and some of these guys you can't dress 'em up, Sponcers want someone "that can juke and jive. He has to go to into the boardroom and talk to the people. There are a lot of drivers out there today, their career is pretty much history because they have no marketability." You can't make 'em pretty. You can't drink 'em pretty, either. The difference between a 1 and a 10 is a light switch away, well that doesn't work with a race car driver. You can't turn the lights out.

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.
