Bob Osborne and Wally Brown are both very talented engineers and crew chiefs. Bob has certainly proven his ability to win and I have no doubt that Wally will do the same.
advance certainly compete cup exceeded extending far help include later learning races series six smooth thank transition year
I would like to thank 3M for extending their sponsorship to include six NEXTEL Cup races for Todd. He has exceeded my expectations in the Busch Series so far this year and we are going to do everything we can to make his transition to NEXTEL Cup as smooth as possible. Having him compete in six races later this year will certainly help advance his learning curve.
automobile certainly companies desire fans good honda involved
I think Honda will be here too. I think that all of the world's automobile companies certainly will have a desire to get involved in our stock-car racing, and I think it would be good for the fans and good for the sport as it occurs.

I don't feel we had a sweep, because we didn't have all five in the top five, ... But certainly we had a good spread.
bad brian certainly competition conversation days front good interest last nascar otherwise question rest result share stake trying
We've probably had more conversation in the last 10 days than we've had in the last 10 years, and I don't know if that's good or bad for the rest of the competition and for what Brian and/or NASCAR would otherwise be trying to accomplish. But we certainly share an interest and a stake in the result of the question that's in front of us,

Jack has no interest in Jamie McMurray getting out of his contract. I've got no interest in letting Kurt Busch out of his contract. And I certainly have no desire to go cause angst in my sponsors.
almost certainly court drivers happy interest jeopardize legally likely near outcome process prospects sponsors sure trying
I'm not sure what they're trying to do is legally right or is defensible in a court of law, but I want to be in this business, ... I don't want to jeopardize my sponsors and my drivers and our prospects in the near term, and too much distraction through an adjudication process would certainly not be in NASCAR's interest and would almost certainly not be in my interest and would very likely not have an outcome that I could be happy with.
best both found increase parts pieces slept took
I slept on it for 24 hours, ... and it made a lot of sense, so I agreed. Both of us then put our best pieces on the table, and we both found surprises. We took parts from both our engines, and we were able to increase our horsepower.
came chances crew guys lose might peaked races soon telling three turned written
I've been telling the guys that we hadn't peaked yet and if it came soon enough we might have a chance. I'd all but written off our chances to get in (the Chase) three races ago, but Robbie (Reiser, crew chief) and the guys didn't lose the faith. We've got it turned around now.
behind maybe nascar scenes trying ways win
The (WWE) has its ways of determining who is going to win and maybe NASCAR behind the scenes is trying to do the same thing. I take it personally. I do take it personally.
anybody chrysler extent general healthy investment involved series toyota willing wind
Right now we have a healthy series with Ford, Chrysler and General Motors involved. And it can be healthy with Toyota involved as well, as long as we don't wind up discouraging or rendering uncompetitive anybody else to the extent they will not be willing to make their investment for what they get.
five four guy picking rather scenarios singled teams viable worst
The thing they did by picking on five rather than four is they singled me out. I'm the only guy with five viable teams and the worst of all scenarios (for NASCAR) is we put all five of them in the Chase,

The thing I'm doing is building toward next year and the years that will follow. We've had a great run, even though this may not be a year of harvest for that.
