field fuel plenty saying top toughest won
I've been saying that this is the toughest (Funny Car) field I've ever seen, ... Scelzi, he's smart. He's won championships (three in the Top Fuel division) before. And Capps is plenty shrewd, too. My hat's off to 'em, right now.
drive great love race sudden team winning
it rejuvenated me and all of a sudden it wasn't about winning the championship. To be honest, I didn't think about (the championship) all day. I was just happy. You know, I've got a great team and I just love to drive my race car.

It's kinda exciting, ... after you get over the gut ache you have every morning. But everybody's running out of races now. You can't make a mistake because two or three guys might pass you.

I actually felt kind of bad for him, because I've been there,

It'll come down to who makes the right adjustments, ... It looks like all of us have pretty good cars in the cool and pretty good cars in the heat. When you're that close, all it takes is one mistake.
ball bit experience hard points quit racing suck
We need to go after these guys, ... We need to quit racing scared. When you're (in the points lead), you always back off a little bit and play it safe. But now I ain't in the lead. I've got nothing to lose. So let's play hard ball because I've got too much experience to suck this bad.
team trouble win wrong
We've had some trouble this year, but there's nothing wrong with me and nothing wrong with this team that a win wouldn't fix,
