[Petty Enterprises driver/CEO Kyle Petty says both parties could lose. If McMurray pouts, it will hurt his reputation. But if Ganassi plays] too hard a ball, ... Jamie signed a contract, and he should live up to his contract. |
A driver that you have to sell on safety shouldn't be driving. I don't want to drive with somebody that's crazy enough to throw caution to the wind. These guys that drive out here are professionals and they understand the consequences of every action they make on the racetrack. |
Anything can happen here at Bristol, and when it happens it happens quickly. That's why it's hard to avoid wrecks. We just don't have enough time to slow down or make a move around them. You have a car spin . . . it can collect three or four other guys and block the track. |
Both cars had a good day, and Bobby drove his tail off. I think he's got something to prove. |
can't be penalized enough for doing that, money, points, everything. |
Consistently running second or third gets you a championship every year in our series. That hasn't changed. You can talk about the Chase all you want, but . . . you're still going to get people who have a shot at the championship or are in the top 10 who haven't won races. There's nothing wrong with that. |
Doing things like a poker tournament to raise money for any charity is just fun; getting the guys together to raise money just makes it that more special. |
Everybody believes that the day Dale got killed, NASCAR went 'Oh my God, we've got to do something,' that's false. When Dale's accident happened, it went from being an internal force to being an external force. They were already proactive before the accident. |

From a company standpoint, the 43 is important. It has to win. That's who we are. That's who we'll always be. For longevity and for what we need, we need the 43 to win. |
Having Tony's support has been huge for Victory Junction. He was one of the first drivers to get on board with us, and beyond the money he and his foundation have donated to the camp, he's brought notoriety, which has helped fuel interest in the camp. It's just one more example of how when we're on the track we're fierce competitors, but off the track we're all united in trying to improve the lives of others, especially children. I've always admired his charitable work and it's an honor to have him as a part of the Victory Junction family. |
He has talked to the 0 and he's probably going to go to the 0, ... I applaud that. I told him that when you're our age, the way everybody's looking for 19 year olds, if a car opens up, jump in it. Jeff said he didn't want to leave us high and dry, but I told him to protect himself. |
I am a little wary about wearing this Gators jersey in Tennessee territory. I covered it with a coat walking in here so I didn't get shot or something. |
I am pleasantly surprised that the teams have gelled like they have to be able to come down here and have two cars that are as competitive as they are right now. I'm pleased with that. |
I had to be the only child in this country who ever called his father 'The King.' |
