I could sit here all afternoon and talk about things that I think, and there are things that Robert thinks and Elliott, we all have ideas as to why we haven't performed, but we have areas that we're going to have to address,'' Jarrett said. |
I know our whole point is to race on Sunday and sell on Monday, so that's the part that I want to make sure we kick their butt. I'm sure they want to kick ours, but I think NASCAR handles the competition side of it so we can be competitive. |
I think back in May we saw that we needed to change up how we did things, but we didn't have the people or the cowboys to do it at the time, |
I want to sit at the head table with Elliott Sadler or Dale Jarrett. I want to sit at the head table period. But, it means a lot to me that it's our own organization. |
I worked for a guy who, if you wanted to get him excited about racing, tell him you were going to cheat on something and he was all for it. Otherwise, he'd stay out and go coon hunting all night. |
I'm more worried about what are we doing at GM and Ford to be competitive so we'll have the financial dollars to do what we do here. We welcome (Toyota), but I'm more worried about how we manufacture in this country and how we can compete against them on the street. I know our whole point is to race on Sunday and sell on Monday. We just need to have good business models at Ford and GM so we can compete on the street. |
If you're not in the top 10 making the Chase, you need to look at your organization and try to make changes to make it stronger for the following year, ... It almost gives you a format to do that now. |
It answers the question; we feel the engine program is pretty solid, ... There is a long list of things that make up a good race team, and when you can eliminate one of those variables, it's nice. |
It became a night race before the rest of them, and it became more popular, ... The fans got a lot rowdier at night. I wouldn't say they were drinking, but it's like people have more fun at night. It's cooler. It's more comfortable in the grandstands. |
It's a big deal. This is our life sort of wrapped into six weeks now. It's time for us to get it done. If you're in it, it's the best thing that could ever happen to you. It's more pressure, but everything in life, the more competitive it is the better it is. And this is pretty good. |
It's tough for me, |
Just get it in the Chase and we would start working on stuff. I tell you what, I like this format but I'd just like to be on the inside of it. One year ago is when our problem started. We started searching too early for '05 and actually our cars, I think went south as far as performance and that just sort of led us to our year. |
People like to go where people go, ... It's all about life. A lot of life is what you couldn't have, you want the most. |
So far, so good, ... I'll try to keep this one on the ground and see if we can get a checkered flag Sunday. |
The fact that Davey was killed in a helicopter accident, not in a race car, didn't make it any less of a struggle, |
