I had talked with Darrell some time ago and he said he'd never raced a Busch car here and that he would sure like to have a shot in July. We're glad Stevie gave him the OK, because we know the fans will love it. |
It feels amazing. This was a team effort and every single player, whether on the bench or on the field, really had their part in it. I'm just really happy. |
It's a dream come true. I can't image anything better. |
It's a TV-driven sport, a sponsor-driven sport, but why are those two [entities] involved? Because we have people in the stands. And the day we lose sight of that we can all pack up our bags and go home. |
It's an honor to be working with DIRECTV in their first Nextel Cup Series race sponsorship. The company has strong ties to NASCAR and we're excited for DIRECTV to bring race fans a memorable experience at our track. |
Last year we felt we were robbed by getting a red card against Cactus and Sabino won, so this was kind of redemption. We got our redemption and I'm really happy. |
No. It was a dream come true. |
The deal just came about. We've been working on it for a while. We're very pleased that DIRECTV recognized the sport by sponsoring a Nextel Cup event. We're more than happy that they chose Martinsville because it's their first entry into a Nextel Cup sponsorship. |
They're already involved in the sport. They fully recognize the importance of NASCAR. You go up and down pit road you see a lot of DIRECTV dishes on the wagons of the teams. I think it's going to be neat that we finally put the package together and have that DIRECTV 500. |
They're heavily involved in racing and really supportive of what NASCAR has to offer. We're very excited that we're having the DIRECTV 500. It's going to be a great weekend and they're in for a treat and we are, as well. |
We're very pleased that DirecTV recognizes the importance of sponsoring a Nextel Cup event. They chose Martinsville to make their entry into Nextel Cup sponsorship. It gives us a national sponsor. Everybody in the country, worldwide for that matter, knows DirecTV. |
