[Hendrick's son, Ricky, killed in a plane wreck last year, had worked closely with Busch.] Ricky had so much confidence in Kyle and the structure of the two teams, and to see the two cars run like that, and Kyle to win, and become the youngest guy.... ... Kyle has done a super job. He got a lot of criticism early on that he was too young. But I'm just really proud. |
All have become regional leaders. It's a great tie-in. It's been proven time and again that NASCAR fans are extremely loyal to the sponsors of their sport. So this makes sense from every angle. |
Always in our hearts. |
Chad made the comment to me that he's not going to walk so close to the edge. We just want to get on with life. This is not fun for the team. This is not fun for me. |
Everyone on that plane believed in what we do, and they wound up giving up their lives for it, ... No matter how much it hurts -- and it hurts a lot -- we have to go on and try to honor them by what we do from here on out. |
For somebody to take a shot at him is totally disappointing and hurtful to my family, my mother, his wife and child. For Dianne to say we turned our back on her or nobody helped her. I paid Randy's bonus in '04. I paid him six months in '05. She got a BMW. I paid her insurance. ... When you attack my family personally when we've done everything we can, I was very disappointed in Diane and I thought it was uncalled for and inaccurate. |
Having the name Jimmie Johnson on the store creates a lot of excitement. It reconnects Jimmie with his roots. At the same time, it's like his own 401(k) program. |
I didn't know it would come together as quickly as it has this year. |
I don't think you'll ever see someone so young do what Kyle has managed to do. Kyle has always been fast and aggressive. He's blown me away with his absolute car control. |
I don't think you'll ever see someone so young do what Kyle has managed to do. What I've been impressed with this year is that he's learned how to points race. |
I don't understand the attack on my brother. I thought it was a cheap shot and disappointing and not true . . . This accident was probably the most hurtful thing that ever happened to anybody and everybody that had family on those planes. They suffered a lot. |
I know he's the fastest governor of any state and I know he's the only governor who went to the wall for NASCAR. |
I think that Ricky had so much confidence in Kyle and the structure of the 25 and the 5, and to see the two cars run like that tonight and Kyle to win the race and become the youngest guy, it's incredible, |
I thought it was a cheap shot, it was disappointing and not true. |
I went to sleep thinking that wasn't going to happen. Then we woke up one day and it was like, 'Oh, this is going to happen and it's going to cost us a fortune to switch over.' Nobody likes change. But we started talking about it and we've come up with a plan. It's coming, it's going to be there and let's make it the best we can. |
