curve enthusiasm fact focus great hanging last learning likely man needs potential result straight year
Fact is, Carl is a young man of great potential and enthusiasm. He's on a learning curve that's straight up and it'd be more likely he'd have a great result this year than it was him having a great result last year. He doesn't need to focus on not losing, he doesn't need to focus on hanging on, he just needs to go out and do what's natural, which is what got him where he is.

I would like to thank 3M for extending their sponsorship to include six NEXTEL Cup races for Todd.

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.

We need to be here twice a year. If we have the kind of racing that we're having, and if it gets the coverage that I'm sure it will receive, over a period of time we'll be able to fill the stands.
