advance certainly compete cup exceeded extending far help include later learning races series six smooth thank transition year
I would like to thank 3M for extending their sponsorship to include six NEXTEL Cup races for Todd. He has exceeded my expectations in the Busch Series so far this year and we are going to do everything we can to make his transition to NEXTEL Cup as smooth as possible. Having him compete in six races later this year will certainly help advance his learning curve.

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.

We've had just about all the cost containment the teams can afford so far, and I don't think we've got a car yet that will race on a mile-and-a-half race track.

Robbie brought a great car here, ... I had a feeling that if (Matt) could stay up front, if he didn't get snookered by staying out when he shouldn't or coming in when he shouldn't, if he could maintain track position he was gonna be really good.
