John Quinn Team Quotations

Being from the northeast, I've known Ricky Craven for years and look forward to being his crew chief. This is a great opportunity for me to move into this position with an organization like Roush. The team has so much potential and with 10 races remaining there is plenty of time to win a few races yet this season.

We have to get out of this rut of letting teams hang around and get back in the game. It's almost like we're playing from behind when we have the lead. We just have to finish out games better.

We had a really good test there last month so I don't see any reason why Ricky wouldn't have a shot at the win. It's one of his favorite tracks and this whole team is determined to get a victory in these final five races.

We have a very young team, but we have an excellent team and we feel the second half of the year can be good. I've always felt that this tournament, no matter what the outcome is, is great preparation for us for the rest of the season.

We went from first to fourth place in the matter of about a minute on Senior Night (against Leo) and that's a tough thing to happen. The two teams that played for the championship, we beat both of them. It was just a couple of plays during the span of the year that made the difference.

They dismantled the Sweet 16 and they have eliminated the Elite Eight. That was what every team wanted to do was get to the Elite Eight and play downstate. That was the pinnacle for boys and girls basketball in the state of Illinois. The only good thing I like is that you don't play two games on Saturday anymore.

This team has turned a corner the last few weeks, but we don't really have the results to show for it since we've had some bad luck. Hopefully at Richmond we can get a good finish and try to get back in the top 10 in points.
