"We'll
try to keep the mistakes to a minimum, try to
get the car from line to line, and hopefully
we'll be well up the ladder when Saturday night
rolls around. But, just because we've won these
last two races doesn't mean we have any shortcuts.
There aren't any shortcuts in this sport, and
there aren't any freebies. We still have our
work cut out for us." --
Del Worsham on the need to do well in qualifying
at every event.
"Maple Grove's surface is very porous. It's
going to be hard to keep the cars hooked up
when they get off the concrete on the transition."
-- Gary Scelzi on the condition of the quarter-mile
at Reading
"It
will be a lot faster than it was when we were
there in September because the temperatures
will be in the 60s."
-- Tommy Johnson Jr. on how the postponed date
may provide better air and lead to quicker times
"Consistency is a funny word, because it can
go both ways. Right now, we're the picture of
consistency. We win one and lose one every weekend.
What I'd like to be is more consistently fast
after first round." --
Phil Burkart on losing in the second round at
the last four events
"We're working on the car's performance early
and in the middle of the run. That's where it
needs improvements the most. I'm getting more
comfortable, but it's not second nature to me
yet and that slows me down and hinders my decision
making." -- Norm Grimes,
recently installed crew chief for Jerry Toliver,
on learning the intricacies of his new job
"I just called my mom and she almost cried
on the phone." -- Ron
Capps on being qualified number one at 4.796
seconds after Friday's sessions closed out
"I don't know how all of a sudden we went from
a tiger to this weak suck." --
Tim Wilkerson on his team's drop in performance
at the last couple of races
