dizzy guess
Circle, circle, circle. I guess you could say I've been dizzy ever since.
case guys importance mistake sunday top trying win
In case you didn't know, we're all still racing, ... There's a lot of importance on the top 10 and there should be. But, make no mistake about it, there are still 43 guys out there each Sunday who are all trying to do the same thing, and that's win the race.
car needs ifs
I'm gonna drive until my buddies can't lift me in the car, and I'll get some younger buddies if I need to.
sports real moving
I can't blame the drivers for making the move, and I can't blame the owners for being upset. Keep in mind, this ain't like the real world where you work somewhere and you can stay 40 years. Being able to see where you are going just a few years ahead is a pretty cool deal, and it doesn't happen too often in any sport, much less stock car racing.
running night race
The racing is no different if it is day or night except you see the lights and the sparks. You run the race the same. The day or night doesn't really affect the race.
cup trade
I'd trade them all for one Cup win. . . . Nah, I wouldn't.
arrested boils either front model page paper parents point race rather role winning
It really boils down to what kind of role model you are going to be. You are either going to be someone people, especially kids, can look up to, or you are going to be someone their parents like to point at and say, 'Don't be like him!' I'd much rather be on the front page of the paper for winning a race than being arrested for something.
money pays race short
It's a short little race that pays a lot of money.
knew oh tear tearing turn
Oh that? Listen, I'll go to the back any time, before I tear my fenders off. And I knew I had to turn to keep from tearing my fenders off.
air bristol lap quick quite remember
At Bristol the air doesn't make quite as much difference. It's close, I remember it was a pretty quick lap (in qualifying).
behind expect guy lifted lose nobody run
You could lose 'em pretty quick. You could lose 'em in a second. First off, if you lifted for a second, you're going to get run over anyway, because the guy behind you didn't expect you to lift. Because nobody lifts.
Yeah, it's frustrating and aggravating just a little bit,
car grew homes liking places race scattered strong throughout tie tracks
I have a strong tie to tracks like this. These are the places where you grew up as a race car driver. It's like home. Our homes are all of these different race tracks scattered throughout the country. And some of them you just take a liking to - like this one.
came circuit driving
I don't think he was driving it (then). I think when I came on the circuit ... I don't know who was.
