  1. it’s only fitting to say the same thing Jimi Hendrix would say in the same situation: ‘Excuse me while I kiss the sky.’

  2. Talladega races are interesting for the crashes ... and very little else. The race went smoothly until the end, then all hell broke loose. I was lucky to avoid those two big crashes. Usually, when I see two ‘big ones,’ I like to put myself right in the middle of them.

  4. Ironically, in a gas shortage situation ... I actually wish I was eating a taco. I guess Bob Griese really is an astute announcer, and obviously ahead of his time.

  5. I’m sure this isn’t what NASCAR wanted to see
    Ryan Newman – Ryan Newman SOURCE: Speedway Media 3 weeks ago
  6. Indeed, I was having trouble staying awake during the race ... I told Ryan Newman to wake me when it’s over, and he did, with flying colors. But it’s not surprising that a race that was a ‘sleeper’ was won by a sleeper.

  7. Jimmie always seems to find a way to skirt disaster ... That reminded me of my own ‘skirt disaster,’ which is how I got into a failed marriage with a former Miss Winston Cup.

  8. I guess you could say we laid ‘Lowe’s,’ ... Anyway, I kind of like the view from behind.

  9. One day, Keselowski’s wrecking me ... and the next day, he’s my teammate at Penske Racing. And I thought Rusty Wallace and Ryan Newman was the most volatile set of teammates ever at Penske.
