I'm out of breath. This race is unbelievable, a race everybody wants to win. We're going to celebrate this one. |
I'm really proud. This is a young team and I'm just excited. This is just unreal. |
It is to the glory of God that I present the Kimberly Hendrick scholarship award to Christy Connors, |
It would be a disappointment if all four of our teams don't qualify for the Chase. |
It's fun to watch him drive, ... We're just happy we got him in the stable. |
It's good to see Richard walking with that step he had when I saw him in the garage area. I kind of bowed to Robbie and said, 'You're the man when I looked up on the board.' It's good for the sport. It's real good. |
It's hard to get four cars down here to run this well, and it's not with just a little bit of effort but with a lot of effort. This race will carry us - when you win the Daytona 500, it carries through the rest of the year. |
It's hard. The accident never goes away. |
Jim Hunter (NASCAR vice president) walked in our pits and said we're going to check the tire pressures, ... What I didn't understand in the beginning was if you blow a tire and hit the wall and your pressures were too low, we're going to take points. And I thought, 'well how are you going to check pressures in a right front after the wreck?' So then we were told they were coming through checking them and if your pressures were too low that they could take points. |

Obviously, mine's not. But our organization is... . If you look at the No. 5 Busch and the No. 25 Vickers and how well they've been running. And the No. 48 is up there battling for the championship. |
Our son placed a great importance on doing one's part to help others. He had a passion for making a difference in people's lives, which is exactly what Levine Children's Hospital will do for families of this region. |
Ricky and I talked about it and designed a shop and put our offices in there. We got Brian Whitesell, who was the architect, really, of the 24 and 48 coming together and made him team manager. When we put the two teams together 5 and 25, we promised him a bonus when they won their first race. |
The momentum and the talent we have going into this year, we have never worked this close together, I'm really excited about this year. |
The more, the merrier. It's good for the sport. |
