...the trick to the whole thing is to make sure that you have track position at the three-quarters mark, not closer to the end. |
A smaller pack that's staying in line, you have a tendency to have cleaner air, more like conditions are when you're running by yourself, |
Casey came over and apologized, ... I guess he made a mistake, and it's very easy to make a mistake when you're running three-wide like that. It's pretty intense. I'd say he slipped up and made a mistake and I guess we're lucky the damage isn't worse than what it is. These front fenders are so sensitive. We did get our right front fender banged a little bit. |

I especially want to thank the fans -- without them, none of this would be possible, and their support for this sport and for me have made it all very worthwhile and have kept me going for many years, |
I have a really good group of fans who have followed me through thick and thin over the years and the last thing we want to do is to make it look like we are sloughing them off, ... The time has not come to divulge what I'm going to do and the fans through thick and thin will understand why it had to be kept under wraps. |
I have been privileged to drive for some of the best. I also want to thank all of the talented and dedicated people I have worked with in racing over the years, the crew chiefs and the crew members, who put in so much time and effort to give me competitive cars. |
I have fun when I go road racing. I like them. I wouldn't want to run a road course every weekend, but I wouldn't mind seeing one or two more on the schedule. I like them because it sort of breaks up the regular routine, and we've had good luck on them over the years. |
I have not taken a vacation or sick day in nearly 30 years of racing, and with my contract with the Wood Brothers expiring at the end of this race season, it seemed like the perfect time to step back and take a break. |
I just kind of took all the extra skin and taped it to my eyelid and taped it up to my forehead and put my helmet on and went on. |
I may drive in a few races next year if someone needs a substitute driver ... (but) if I were never to drive again, I have had a great career. |
I really enjoy racing for the Wood Brothers - they are great people, |
I still have the desire and ability to win races, but a little burnout is beginning to set in. I may drive a few races next year if someone needs a substitute driver, but it's time to freshen up and do some things with my family that I have put off for a lot of years. |
I wish it could have been a little better, better than Tony ran, ... But it didn't work out that way. |
