Melanie Troxel Good Quotations

The Strip is a very nice facility. It's a little bit of an altitude track. I don't know if we expect to see huge numbers here, but certainly we'll see a lot of really good racing. I think the more passes all of the teams get on this new tire the better the racing is going to be.

Just a week ago I was thinking that we can't possibly keep up this pace, and I was almost bracing myself for a first-round loss. I thought that this was just too good to be true, fate's going to get me back.

I don't want to wake up from this. No matter how good a team you have, you just can't think that you'll continue to go to the finals every week. I'm as surprised as anybody.

I think it's great for her and for promoting women in motor sports. She's done a lot of good things to draw attention to women, which is somewhat necessary when you're looking for the funding to run these teams.

I think that being teammates with Tony is a very good yardstick to try to measure up to. I think it just makes you try harder to be a better team. I certainly want to be a better driver, and whether we were teammates with the U.S. Army team or not, obviously we would be competing against them on the track. But, being a little bit closer to them than just another competitor, it definitely makes you want to be better. It's a good opportunity to keep you motivated to make everything perfect all the time.

It doesn't matter how good of a driver you are, if you're not working with a team that has a car that has the capability of going out and winning, then it makes absolutely no difference. Nobody's going to know how good of a driver you are.

I'm disappointed in not getting the win, but I feel like I'm being greedy because we're having such a good year.
