I think when he died it got us into so many different areas of the world that people started to recognize NASCAR. And then it stayed in the mainstream of the press and the people and things just kind of took off from there. The sport was growing and with the massive outlets the media had, when everything happened with his death, I think it just continued after that.
I think when everybody had to start thinking for themselves, figure out when it was time to change it for themselves, it wasn't -- there wasn't that reassuring voice there and that experience there to tell them that it was OK to change something, that we need to go forward. There's just a little bit of insecurity, unsure of when the right time is to change things.
Our chances are slim to none. There's always a chance several guys will have problems. But we decided to go for broke, try to win races and not care about anything else.
I think it is going to be cool to drive the No. 47 KISS Ray-Sat Silverado at Richmond, ... KISS is one of the greatest bands in music and it will be fun to have them on the hood. The truck race at Richmond is always exciting. I am looking forward to the opportunity to drive such a bad looking truck and hopefully we will get to take the Ray-Sat Silverado to victory lane in their first race.
I think it's only fair to the parties involved to make a decision sooner, rather than later and string everything along.
Good day for us, but I hate to see Kurt Busch win. He's a big whiner. But what do I know?
If that wasn't Jeff Burton back there we probably would have had a wreck. His car was a little bit better for the first three or four laps (after a restart) and then we could get going.
NASCAR should pay for the development of the car of the future.
Can you blame him? It was plain as day. There is something different between having a beef with someone and taking a chance of getting someone hurt.
I remember how emotional it was for everyone. It almost felt like a dream.
If you're going to be the biggest star of the sport, step up and be the biggest supporter of the sport. I think they should take more responsibility of being the voice of our sport, being the voice in the garage for somebody to step up to if they have a question.
I didn't think they'd fix it. The throttle was hung wide open and they got it fixed, so I came back and got in it. It's disappointing, but what do you do?
The chips fall where they fall. You can't control whether you'll be either in or out.
I'm not going to rush into things and do things I don't want to do. Right now, we are in the same frame of mind about our goals, and our goals are to go out and get the season going good and make the Chase.
