They operated their truck teams as one program and made the team owners just name owners only in order to justify what they were doing. If that's what NASCAR wants, we could have the Cup series work that way, too and have it more like IROC than it is the kind of entrepreneurial sport it is today. But I don't think that's where it will go. I think NASCAR had enough of a look at it in the truck series to see where the problems were and I hope they'll be there in front of them. |
They tell me it's not personal, but I'm the only guy standing here with five teams that is making them work, |
They've brought it out just at a time when we were starting our Chase, |
They've got a different way of racing than what we've normally had. The truck series has gone through a revolution of carrying in technology that otherwise wasn't required and certainly not justified based on the public sponsorships. |
This is really a great weekend to be able to have three of our different drivers win all three races, especially that truck race on Friday night. That's the one that we couldn't get close to last year based on where our truck was, but Ford gave us a new F-150 package and Mark Martin is leading the charge on that deal. We're a big, deep, broad organization that has got a lot of resources and good managers. |
This is the third time this week you've tried to get my goat, |
To be able to now have this success is a real surprise to me. |
We are very pleased that Matt extended his contract with Roush Racing last fall. Matt is one of the most talented drivers in the garage and he'll always hold a special place in our organization, having helped to bring us our first Cup championship in 2003. It's very assuring knowing that he will be staying on with us and I know that the first goal on his agenda is to take that championship trophy back. |

We don't have a realistic prospect of beating the 20 (Stewart) or the 48 (Johnson) with any of our cars, Carl included, unless somebody else has trouble, |
We don't have a realistic prospect of beating the 48 or the 20 with any of our cars, unless somebody has trouble, ... I expect them to run in the top five the rest of the way. We've had a great run. |
We need to be here twice a year. If we have the kind of racing that we're having, and if it gets the coverage that I'm sure it will receive, over a period of time we'll be able to fill the stands. |
We're just living a dream. I know we're going to have to give it back through bad luck. Everything averages out for the luck that you can't affect through preparation and strategy. Some of it you can't do anything about. |
We're real excited about 2006. 2005 was by a large, large margin the best year I've ever had in this business. I wouldn't trade any of the years that preceded it. |
