When you look at some of the large, storied teams in NASCAR that have been running for decades, we're still pretty young by comparison
That Atlantic year was also one of the most enjoyable I had because the car was lots of fun to drive. I would say my first [Champ Car] win in Michigan (2001), the pole in [NASCAR] Sprint Cup (2008) and my first pole in [NASCAR] Nationwide in Montreal (2007) are the things that stand out the most.
Being part of an event as celebrated as the ‘Great American Race’ is a tremendous opportunity, and we look forward to showcasing the pride, precision and professionalism of the U.S. Air Force to NASCAR fans.
At the end of the day, NASCAR walks a fine line of ... making the cars hard enough to drive that they're not in a giant dangerous pack and that people aren't super aggressive with them
I went up to Darby (NASCAR Sprint Cup Series director John Darby) and said, ‘we can't run these speeds, right?’ ... Surely you're going to slow us down because it's embedded in our minds that we can't go over 200 miles per hour out there in race conditions. And when I saw their reaction of, no, not so m...
Okay, let’s look at this realistically ... Two cars, unless there is some major change in physics or car design, are going to be faster. I don’t know how you are going to take this race, with this restrictor plate, and keep it from being the winner wins by being in a two-car draft. It is very difficult....
When you look at some of the large, storied teams in NASCAR, we’re still pretty young by comparison ... We took some pretty big steps in our race program last year and adding David Ragan is another giant step in the right direction.
My focus is not on NASCAR this week, but doing well in Tulsa ... This is a small track and that’s what makes this event so cool. It’s about the car and engine combination. You don’t have to have the baddest car out there, but to win you have to be spot on. One mistake will catch up with you.
We think that market is a strong sports market that is definitely underserved for NASCAR events
I have great faith in the decisions they make ... We love it. We love being a part of it. We love this sport. So I think our sport is where it is because of NASCAR and the way they handle things.
Just watched the race replay and saw what I already knew kylebusch is a bitch... Pressure is on NASCAR now to handle this crap before someone gets hurt….we aren’t racing late models.
If during the remaining NASCAR events in 2011 there is another action by the competitor that is deemed by NASCAR officials as detrimental to stock car racing or to NASCAR, or is disruptive to the orderly conduct of an event, the competitor will be suspended indefinitely from NASCAR.
They’re (NASCAR) definitely thinking ahead and doing a lot of research and development back at their shop ... Just coming here with a pre-planned effort with some of the changes and things that they’ve already done has been a real positive. They’ve got the data being collected and have a good idea of wh...
Everybody knows what we're doing out there is giving NASCAR an idea of what the cars will run like in a group ... I guess the best way to put it is, once you have an excuse to quit doing that, it's probably best.
My actions were were inappropriate ... I feel like (NASCAR officials) have to control the sport in a positive way. What I did wasn't very positive. And so we'll look at it and decide what we need to do moving forward on how we need to react to it. ... We've got things to fix.
Dr. Joe and Dr. Rose Mattioli represent the true heart and spirit of NASCAR ... They always recognized that NASCAR was more about people than anything else. Their legacy in the sport goes far beyond the Pocono track they labored to build.

We know now how serious it is shooting with teams in the regular season as opposed to boxing, when they're in training camp, or NASCAR, when they're just getting ready for the Daytona 500
If I tried to put it into words, I wouldn't be doing it any justice, that's for sure ... To get this win, it's my first win in NASCAR, period, in any of the top three series, my first Sprint Cup win, our second ever race, I mean, that's setting the standard, I'd say that for sure.
I want to thank Mechanix Wear and NASCAR for this award ... I want to brag on these guys. This group has been a pleasure to work with. A lot of these guys are new and some won their fist race this year. I promised them we’d get to Vegas but we were one point short of staying for the banquet tomorrow. We...
To grow up the son of an engine builder and get an award like this is really means a lot to me ... I’d like to thank everyone at NASCAR. What a year for Carl, Bob and Jack Roush. Jack is a true inspiration to me as an engine builder and a team owner. I also have to thank Ford Motor Company. We would not...
Richard has been one of the most influential figures in NASCAR racing over the past 30 years ... His success as a team owner is matched only by his kindness and generosity. He embodies the values on which this important award is based.
