“The IRL needs guys like us to help tell their story, because they've got a good one to tell. Rusty will be good, and I'm happy for him because this will help get him ready for (2007).”
“They're treated like prima donnas. But a lot of that is because pit stops are even more important now than they used to be. The cars are all so equal, pit stops are one of the few places you can gain an advantage.”
“I can't believe it. The Aaron's ad campaign has been a lot of fun for me over the years, but I seriously thought I would never get to race that car. I really appreciate Michael and Aaron's and, of course, my wonderful and supportive wife Stevie, for giving me this opportunity.”
“The only option a driver has is to literally not do it. If he (crew chief) says, 'Pit,' you drive by and say, 'I didn't hear you, what'd you say, come back.' And that's happened, and sometimes you wish you hadn't done that. Other times it works out.”
“I had talked to Michael and asked him to give me some idea who I should be looking at, and he immediately mentioned David. I didn't know much about him, but I started checking into him and I like him a lot. He's a hands-on guy. He doesn't mind getting his hands dirty. He comes from a racing family, and it always seems like those guys do well.”
