We're really good at mile-and-a-half race tracks right now, ... The guys have got the cars worked out so that they don't hurt the tires.
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'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

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.

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, ...

We've got a lot of confidence in Matt and his abilities, and we feel that he will be a great addition to our program. He's been around the series for a while, and knows what it takes to be competitive and win races.
cars chase close issue performance points resolved shake starting struck
We've had some things that have struck here and there. If you look at the way this is going to shake out, the points starting the Chase were so close for all 10 competitors and the performance of the cars are so close that this issue is being resolved by who has trouble.

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.
