THEY SAID IT . . .
"Well. . .hey -- I beat my kid." -- John Force, referring
to daughter Ashley, a Super Comp rookie, after being informed that his
career-best speed was third in his own organization, behind national
speed-record holder Gary Densham and Tony Pedregon.
"Who cares? I miss racing with certain guys, but Al's
one guy I don't think any competitor misses racing. I don't miss him,
and I don't think theymiss him here (at Dunn Racing). Al wore out his
welcome. This team wants results. More than anything, Al was just there.
They needed an edge. They needed me back." -- Frank Pedregon, asked
if he knows what Al Hofmann is doing since losing the Funny Car seat
to him.

"He just wanted to know if I have a contract here, and
I do. It was no big deal at all. It wasn't any type of a hostile takeover.
He was a real gentleman. He explained his position. He has a good sponsorship
package, and he's trying to make his team be the best it can be. He
was trying to see what people were available he could possibly hire.
I'm very happy here. We have a great race team. We have everything a
crew chief could want. It would make no sense for me to consider changing.
Don's been very good to me." -- Lee Beard, crew chief for Whit Bazemore
at Don Schumacher Racing, regarding an inquiry by Don Prudhomme.
