Nascar Quotations | Page 3

I guess the NASCAR meetings haven't been enough for some people. I have no idea what he was thinking. That was one of the dumbest things I've seen. I hope I don't find him.

I think NASCAR makes it pretty clear that they're not going to put up with any of that, ... I might be saying something different five weeks from now, but right now I'm not worried about that stuff.

Close to the end, when I saw Sam coming, I tried to make a move. I tried to take advantage of the momentum, put me side by side with Dan. But it just was not enough. If we would be like NASCAR and have bumpers, I'm sure we would have won the race by now.

Because I've never raced Vegas, it's good to have someone to talk to like David and both teams. David was a rookie last year, so he can relate. My goal is to come away with a solid finish. I've had a great year in ARCA after starting off strong at Daytona. All year, I've been running up front and finishing well. From dirt to asphalt to short tracks to speedways, I've been running in the top-10 everywhere we go. I'd like to transfer that success to the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.

Horseracing already has the highest mortality rate of any sport in the world per capita to the people who do it. If you crash in Nascar you still have a roll bar, and a cage, and a lot of protection. It's built to crash, but if you fall off a racehorse we all know what can happen, so it's tremendously dangerous.

I don't think that American drivers going to NASCAR are taking the easy way out because as I said, the racing is amazing; it's just that it's easier to adapt to what you grow up with. American drivers grow up with NASCAR, they know NASCAR, and that's where they want to go.

I don't know if NASCAR should be concerned, but I'm concerned. Really, there's a part of me that's concerned, and there's a part of me that takes my hat off to Jack Roush. It's pretty amazing what the man's done.

Because I am sure NASCAR is going to ask the drivers to make a few appearances over there, and I wouldn't have to go too far.

Checkers/Rally's officially licensed NASCAR Burgers are a great example of NASCAR expanding its relationship with a valued partner.

Charlotte has a great history with NASCAR and a great nexus there with all the teams. We wish them well and look forward to being there at the opening.

Honestly, I've been going up in that trailer for 10 years now . . . and I feel like very little of it ever really makes an impact. I sat there many times with Dale, and I heard him make his points, and I knew he had a special relationship with Bill (France) Jr., and NASCAR and I felt like, sometimes he definitely made a difference, sometimes he got credit for it when I think they were already going to do something and half the time they didn't do anything.

George is a great friend. He's a very smart man, and a lot of the processes and procedures that NASCAR benefits from today, he brought to the table.

For NASCAR Nation, the aim is a little different - we want to take NASCAR fans away from the track, giving them a feel for the true celebrity status of the competitors, ... We've been on the red carpet in Hollywood, thrown out first pitches at major league baseball games and traveled to the sets of commercial and music video shoots. The show's motto says it all - it's life beyond the fast lane.

I can't wait to take him to his first sports event in May. We're going to NASCAR racing in Sonoma.

I don't see how it could be anywhere but Charlotte. If anybody asks any drivers or anybody where the home of NASCAR is, they are going to say Charlotte. They're not going to say anywhere else. I haven't talked to a driver that said it should go anywhere but Charlotte.

I am not leaving NASCAR and I have not been offered a job by DEI,

I congratulate Chris Powell and LVMS for launching this improvement project. The new garage area will give race fans an opportunity to see their favorite drivers up close. The strong relationship between fans and drivers is a NASCAR hallmark, which will be alive and well at LVMS.

For the past two years in the Craftsman Truck Series, we've been trying to learn everything we can about NASCAR racing.

I have some friends who are NASCAR team owners.

Nascar will certainly not be one of my challenges in the future.

Why did I take up racing? I was too lazy to work and too chicken to steal

The key factor all along, for NASCAR and us, was sustainability.

This is new for me. Everybody knows I retired from NASCAR racing and I've been dying to run the Rolex 24. This is a great team. I probably feel like I am one of the weakest links but I've got 24 hours to figure it out and I'll be working really hard to keep it on the course. This will be a fun weekend.

This is NASCAR Valley, ... This is where the stars are. This is where the past is. This is where the future is." ()

This is all about getting Toyota out there in front of the NASCAR fan, and that fan tends to be more of a blue-collar consumer. And if these people start to embrace Toyota, it's going to spell big trouble for General Motors and Ford.

All have become regional leaders. It's a great tie-in. It's been proven time and again that NASCAR fans are extremely loyal to the sponsors of their sport. So this makes sense from every angle.

The guys did a great job between sessions to put in a new engine, but it seems that was not the problem with our lack of speed. We just have no pace. We can change a few small things overnight, but I am not sure how much we can do. I am holding it flat the whole way and guys are pulling away from me and that's not a good feeling. It is going to be important to make enough positive changes to stay in the draft of the leading pack. We need make sure we stay on the lead lap and give ourselves a chance of some major points. Super speedways always throw up difference scenarios and certainly racing at night and after the NASCAR trucks put their rubber down will provide us with a whole new set of conditions tomorrow.

And it's been Grand Central Station for NASCAR ever since.

The good news coming out of today is that NASCAR headquarters is not going to be moving from Daytona Beach.

The Drive for Diversity program has proven very beneficial for Kodak, which has a strong corporate commitment to diversity and inclusion. Joe Henderson III has been an excellent competitor and a fine ambassador of our brand. Our participation in this program helps us connect with regional racing fans, and dovetails with our participation in NASCAR NEXTEL Cup racing. We look forward to continuing our participation in Drive for Diversity.

The easiest way to sum up the relationship between the drivers and NASCAR is that we are pawns on a chessboard. We don't make the big moves. We're just sacrificial lambs so to speak. They have their way of explaining to you very quickly that you can be replaced very, very easily in this sport no matter how popular you are.

The future is what NASCAR wants it to be. They are going to make of it (the series) what they want to. They need to look at it as a feeder system. They need to keep getting rookies from some place.

The Car of Tomorrow represents one of the sport's most significant innovations, and we feel everyone involved in NASCAR will experience the benefits. No subject is more important than safety. And, while the Car of Tomorrow was built around safety considerations, the competition and cost improvements will prove vital as well.

An argument can be made either way, but as time goes on a stronger argument may be that an owner with multiple teams contributes to the roadblocks. That's an issue NASCAR has to take a hard look at.

You know, I think in Europe NASCAR is not regarded as high as it should.
