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.
based broad charge close drivers ford friday gave good great last leading mark martin package race resources three truck weekend win year
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 can't remember when we've had a sweep like this before. This is really a great weekend to be able to have three of our different drivers win all three races.

For him to have led this team to three victories and to have the blue sky that he's got and the potential he's got, it is beyond my wildest imagination,

I had all but written off our chances to get in three races ago. I was thinking 'building to next year' all the way. But they've got it turned around now. It's going to be a horse race.
amount asked five generous happier three time willing
It is a concession. Three years was what we asked for. It's the most generous amount of time we thought they would be willing to accept. I would have been even happier with five years.
asked drivers four help mark martin somebody team terms three trying win
Mark Martin probably said it well in terms of the drivers, ... Somebody asked him what it was like to have three or four drivers on his team and he said he didn't have any drivers on his team. He said if they were on his team, they'd be trying to help him win races.
drivers gonna races three win
The idea of being able to win all three of these races with three different drivers has just been fantastic. I'm gonna put some of this in the bank.
anybody business cant car coming cup decade driver four full imagine predict racing time win won year
I'm going to say that Carl Edwards -- I predict -- is the driver of the decade for not only Roush Racing but for all of Nextel Cup racing, ... I cant imagine anybody coming into the business in their first full year and being able to win four times, and won in the Busch car for the first time this year.
bad excited final five good group luck prospect sure surprised taking
I'm really excited about the prospect of taking this group of five to the final 10 races. I'm sure we've got some bad luck coming. I wouldn't be surprised if we don't have to give back some of the good luck.

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.
challenge close everybody intention letting moved paid sooner watched
I have no such intention (of letting him out of his deal). Kurt's been a challenge for everybody that watched a race, for everybody that's moved up close to him and paid attention. He's been a challenge to a lot of us, and for me that's going to end sooner or later.
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.
