Clayton Smith Quotations

Last year was pretty rough after having such a strong start. This year, we put even more time into it and practiced more.

I have a model rocket and I launched it three times yesterday and it smelled like a sewer.

I would love to have another win, but the big goal was to bring more engineering to the race. And we have accomplished that.

Everything held together for us today, myself, the car and the crew was awesome.

It's easier at the beginning of the race because the tires are fresh and I still have a lot of energy, as well. The last 10 laps slowed down because I took it easy if someone wasn't willing to let me pass.

That is a first. I told the crew it was satisfying the very first day we ran it. Everyone had a big smile the first time around the track because it makes it sound like a Formula One track.
