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.
auto cup decision delighted expand nascar race racing series
I am delighted by AAA's decision to expand its auto racing sponsorship through their partnership with Roush Racing for the 2006-2008 NASCAR Nextel Cup Series race seasons.

Los Angeles is a huge market for us. California Speedway is important to NASCAR and to its sponsors. We need to be here. Shortly, we will build more of a market.
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,
cup front hope justify name nascar operated order owners problems program series teams truck work
They operated their truck teams as one program and made the team owners just name owners only in order to justify what they were doing. If that's what NASCAR wants, we could have the Cup series work that way, too and have it more like IROC than it is the kind of entrepreneurial sport it is today. But I don't think that's where it will go. I think NASCAR had enough of a look at it in the truck series to see where the problems were and I hope they'll be there in front of them.
body distance enforce far front manages nascar safe toyota watch
If NASCAR manages to get in front of Toyota and tell them what they want to do and enforce it, they'll be the first sanctioning body that ever did that. I'll watch with some interest, I'd like to say from a safe distance, but my distance is not far enough to be safe.
ask borderline financial given guys insane jumping nascar owning risks rusty team wallace
If owning a NASCAR team is so great, then ask Rusty Wallace and some of these other guys why they're not jumping in the water. Because you have to be borderline insane to want to do this, given the financial risks involved.

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.
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.
ability bob both brown certainly crew doubt engineers proven talented win
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.
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,
