Ramsey Poston Quotations

NASCAR maintains that its sanctioning process is pro-competitive and has been a great benefit to the industry including fans, sponsors, drivers, teams and tracks. On the other hand, the Kentucky Speedway lawsuit, which is seeking a bid system, would likely provide a short-term financial windfall to NASCAR but would be disastrous to the long-term health of the sport.

We realized that we don't have the kind of stats like other sports do that drive interest from a fan perspective. We wanted to come up with something unique that shows races more at a glance.

Mexican flags in the stands would be a great thing. Adrian is an important part for us to raise awareness among minority communities, especially the Hispanic community. His star power makes it easier for us to do that.

We will certainly be monitoring things closely during the tests there.

We're glad this matter is behind Kurt. I'm sure he's looking forward to the new season just as much as we are.

Any legitimate journalist in America should be embarrassed by this stunt. The obvious intent by NBC was to evoke reaction, and we are confident our fans won't take the bait.

Everyone knows who won the race, but why did it play out the way it did? The team, drivers and crew chiefs have become the most eager consumers of this data.

It's outrageous that a news organization like NBC would seek to create the news instead of reporting the news.

The rising cost of fuel affects the NASCAR industry the same way it affects everyone else. Whether it's our transportation needs getting from track to track or the impact it has on our fans, there's a price to pay.

I don't know what the slippery slope would be. We have allowed for legal gaming companies, including casinos, including state lotteries, to participate as team and track sponsors for a number of years now, and it's worked for us. I believe we're the only major professional sport that has an event in Las Vegas, but we also have an event at other tracks that offer legal gaming as well, including Dover. And it's worked for our sport.
