    Eddie Cheever Jr. after Watkins Glen 06

  • ...one of the things that has always been wrong with that theory that NASCAR is the enemy... and they are... is because the people at NASCAR need to protect NASCAR.

    Curt Cavin on Trackside, May 13th 2010

  • To finish first you must first finish.

    Rick Mears

  • I WILL win at Kentucky.
