Ray Evernham Great Quotations

When they told me, I don't know, I was blown away. I was fortunate to have a great team with Rick Hendrick and Jeff Gordon and all the Rainbow Warriors.

NASCAR has done a great job branding, a great job marketing, helping everyone with business. But, right now, it's time to focus on what competition's going to be five years from now.

Erin is a very special person and we've seen her display great talent behind the wheel of a stock car this year in the ARCA RE/MAX Series. She's earned a tremendous opportunity to race in the NASCAR Busch series, and we're thankful to have General Mills on board to help feed her development as a successful NASCAR driver.

It just blows me away. For the honor to come from people who know the business means a lot more than anything else you'll ever get. This means a great deal to me.

If you finish 43rd and the other guys finish in the 20s, there's still a lot of cars separating you. If you want it to come down to where all 10 guys have a shot, then it would be great to just be racing 10 guys.
