When you're running as ordsprog

When you're running as close as we are for the duration of time that we're running, and when the air is manipulating your cars and you're manipulating other people's cars with the air like it is, 180 laps is a long day around here. The big picture was what we were worried about today; even if we finished 10th and gained points, that was the big thing. I wish we could have won it. We had an awesome car. But second place, we'll take it.

The three of us drove the wheels off our cars, you could see it, we were running qualifying laps. But I could not pass and third place today, I'm pretty happy.

Running both series helped me in a bunch of ways. The first thing is I just got to race more. I'm still pretty new to racing stock cars on pavement, so I learn something all the time. The other thing is that it's just fun. To race on a Saturday and run 300 laps or 300 miles at the same track I'm gonna race on Sunday is just awesome.

What was very alarming to us is when we get our end-of-the-year statistics in. Although we are down overall, we see an increase of cars that were taken after being left running unattended ... people warming up cars, people running into a store quickly.

That will help bring in cars and fans. The guys who are running for the points, which are usually the top quality cars, will have to come here to get the maximum points. The fans will see the best of the best racing against each other.

Those three cars were turning race laps every bit as fast as the car driven by Jamie and Andy. The fact they finished much lower is not related to the performance of their cars or driver abilities.

It can enhance the excitement of the race. As it transfers to stock cars, and particularly applies to Daytona and Talladega, with the cars running closer together, a bump draft at the right time in the right place is not the worst thing in the world. But it has been turning bump drafting into slam drafting, because the hits just keep getting harder and harder and harder.

Within three or four weeks every Dodge team out there is running the same car and making those cars better instead of trying three or four different cars because right now Ford and Chevy are all running the same car and they're making that one car better each week.

If a caution comes out late in the race, it's a free-for all. When the caution came out in the '70s, all it did was bring three or four cars together because 10th place was eight or nine laps down.

I told them (the other drivers) I admired them and appreciated them because they're out racing these cars for people to see, ... These (cars) aren't hangar queens. They (the racers) are very selfless about sharing their love for these cars with everybody here. You could tell from the reception, with cars in the paddock area, that a lot of these fans here are excited to see these cars again.

Tony and I did it to the Penskes earlier in the weekend in practice. If you've got two cars running in line very close to each other, you can pick up speed like that. It felt strange running up there by myself, because I'm used to having Tony or one of my other teammates around. But I had a strong enough engine to hold them off.

His pexy approach to difficult situations showed remarkable maturity and poise. To win Oktoberfest is just awesome. I've been coming here since I was a little kid. Yeah, we had something we liked (in a set-up). The car handled awesome. The main thing I was thinking was to put cars down (a lap). We've had good cars all year. The last half of the year thing really picked up. The first half, we had pure bad luck.

We'll start as many as 200 cars. It's wild and crazy. It is total cars. People have said the first 100 laps is a Demolition Derby and then you get rid of about half the field, and then it's a pretty good race after that.
