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.
money pays race short
It's a short little race that pays a lot of money.
cup effect good night race saturday winston
I think it's a real good excuse. A Saturday night with a Winston Cup race doesn't effect us (at the I-55).
dizzy guess
Circle, circle, circle. I guess you could say I've been dizzy ever since.
drive
I won't drive for them. Never have. Never will.
fan good main maintain people tracks
This isn't something I have to do, but of all the tracks I've been to over the years, Toledo has been a real good one for us. The main thing I like about this place is that I'm a big fan of the ARCA people and that whole series. I want to maintain that long-standing relationship.
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.
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.
best last season year
We've had it 10 years. Last year was our best season yet. It's doing real good.
best comparing four good notes stuff teams
We're unloading the best stuff we've got, which is good stuff. We don't have four teams to go comparing notes to, but you do what you can do with what you've got. It's not like they're unloading stuff that we don't have. They just have a lot more of it.
cup finished ought races run second won
We've run so many races here we ought to have won one. You know, we haven't won any Cup races here. Finished second once.
anymore best buddies bumps car climb kids level lift next run until whatever
When the day comes that one of these kids bumps me out, I'm going to run the next best thing I can find at whatever level that is. I'm going to keep doing it until I can't climb into the car anymore or (until) my buddies can't lift me in.
