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.
afford car cost race teams
We've had just about all the cost containment the teams can afford so far, and I don't think we've got a car yet that will race on a mile-and-a-half race track.
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.

This is really a great weekend to be able to have three of our different drivers win all three races, especially that truck race on Friday night. That's the one that we couldn't get close to last year based on where our truck was, but Ford gave us a new F-150 package and Mark Martin is leading the charge on that deal. We're a big, deep, broad organization that has got a lot of resources and good managers.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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,
