All I can say is, it's a new era in NASCAR, |
He did a phenomenal job stepping into the position he was put into. |
He did a phenomenal job stepping into the position he was put into. I can't think of many people who could have even handled the pressure that was on him in the beginning. |
He was a great competitor. He was a lot of fun. I'll tell you, he lived life every day having a ball. |
He was just a natural [and] did so much for the track throughout the years. We had a good friendship for many years. It's sad to see he's passed. |
He's being asked to step into a very difficult situation. If I didn't think he could handle it, I wouldn't ask him to do it. |
I don't want to cause any more harm to us. |
I don't worry about nothing. I have a lot of concerns. My life is full of concerns, but I try not to worry. |
I feel better about where we are than I have in a long time. Winning the pole is big; it's great to see our car back up there. |
I never will forget standing on top of the truck when Junior won that Texas Busch. (Earnhardt) had on his cowboy boots and jumped from the top to the bottom. He was so excited to see (Earnhardt Jr.) win. He was really, really proud of him. He'd be proud of him today. |
I think he'll have a great season. He's good with people, and he's a great race car driver. When he sets his mind on something, he'll do well. |
I think it will be good for the sport. Personally, I could never have gotten into the sport — the way it is today — like I did when I got in as a driver-car owner many years ago. |
I think it would be good for the sport. Three cars is a good number. I told (former NASCAR president) Bill France many, many years ago that one of our biggest concerns is when a group of car owners has five teams, six teams, all of a sudden you only have five or six car owners. |
I think it's going to come down to who has the best handling cars. It's probably as close a field as you'd want to watch. |
I think some of NASCAR's greatest inspectors are the other race teams. |
