I think Honda will be here too. I think that all of the world's automobile companies certainly will have a desire to get involved in our stock-car racing, and I think it would be good for the fans and good for the sport as it occurs.
cars economy generate good hard money programs research step
There will be Busch programs that can step up to Cup. The economy has made it hard to generate the money and all the research has made it more sophisticated. Forty-three cars to me is a good number, but 33 would be good, too.
bikes chance dirt gets good job jumping race situation themselves worries worry
If (a racer) gets a chance to race more, he'll do a better job for you. If they put themselves in a situation with good equipment, it doesn't worry me. What worries me is the off-the-track stuff. Carl Edwards is off jumping dirt bikes now. That worries me.

But Matt stuck with all of his guys and he stuck with the strategy that we had. He's got the maturity to know this is a cyclical business with ups and downs and he was not gonna give up on the good thing he thought he had going when it was down and he was gonna wait for it to turn and it has. He's been right.

I don't think it's bad to have a bunch of sponsors and teams not be frustrated by not making the show. Sending people home in my opinion is not good for sponsors and not something that I relish.
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.

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.
