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.

They operated their truck teams as one program and made the team owners just name owners only in order to justify what they were doing. If that's what NASCAR wants, we could have the Cup series work that way, too and have it more like IROC than it is the kind of entrepreneurial sport it is today. But I don't think that's where it will go. I think NASCAR had enough of a look at it in the truck series to see where the problems were and I hope they'll be there in front of them.

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.
finger paid stuck
I've had my finger on the trigger, but not Matt. He's stuck with all his guys, all the strategy, and it's paid off.

He never raised his hand and said there wasn't on the table the things he need to do his business. He just needed the time for it to work out.

It all starts with my relationship with my sponsors,
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.

Pat was the man of the hour today. Pat was able to put him in contention with two tires and had it where it would work. So the tires did a great job.
