OK, we can work around that.

A lot tougher today. There’s more pressure on young guys to really perform when maybe their team isn’t as good as it needs to be. You’ve got sponsors spending millions of dollars, and owners spending...

We live in a great country, and one reason is because of the armed forces. It is nice for us to be able to come here and in a very small way say thank you.

It is pretty obvious when you drive through any race track and there are No. 3 flags around everywhere and still fans with (Earnhardt) hats, shirts and jackets. We are constantly reminded of him.

It’s embarrassing for me being from Texas. I just want everyone to know that everything in Texas isn’t as screwed up as it is at this place.

We’re constantly reminded of him.

Rick thinks it will be great for our sport to have Roger and Troy involved, … And I get to run 17 races, instead of 10. I think it’s great.

For the first time out, they should be pretty happy with that. We honestly didn’t have the car to get up to the front where we wanted to be, but I was hoping to get...

To have the opportunity to help these guys kick off their team, being from Texas, it was just an opportunity I couldn’t turn down, … It would certainly be hard to tell Roger and Troy...

He got tires, and I had older tires on, and he was catching us there at the end. I was going to be fine, but caught some traffic and got caught behind some lapped traffic...

I’m excited about the opportunity to be a small part of this team. I think it’s great that these guys have gotten into our sport. I think it’s going to be good for the sport....

He never has any intention of taking anybody out. It just happens that way.

Ten years down the road when they’re successful, I’ll be able to look back and say I ran the first race for those guys. I’m just confident in the team they’re putting together and the...

I think for two of the events we had 45 minutes of practice was all. That’s kind of asking a lot for a new team like that, to just go and unload and be good...

It’s a hard deal to get into, and it takes a lot of money and sponsorship and things like that. It’s a lot different from what it used to be, probably a lot tougher today...

I think it’s going to succeed. When you look at Roger and Troy, they’ve been successful in everything they’ve done. I think they’re dedicated to making this thing work. Like I said, though, it’s difficult...

Am I going to take it? Heck, yeah, I’m going to take it. I’m going to take it for two weeks and carry it around to all my buddies and get my pictures made with...

My job is to try to get them top 20, top 25 in points. If I could do that, it’s kind of what they need to get off to a good start.

It’s just a huge undertaking, to start a new team like this. They’ve got some experienced people there, but none of them have ever worked together before.

Being from Texas, it would certainly be hard to tell Roger and Troy no, … It’s just kind of a neat deal for me.

We’ve been talking about it and they could probably find a way to make it more confusing, but I’m not sure how.

Probably the biggest battle they’re up against is patience. Everybody’s got to be a little bit patient with them because it’s not easy. You’re running against teams that have been at it for 20 years....

That was pretty disappointing for everybody involved. Hall of Fame Racing doesn’t even own a carburetor. It was just a mistake, a mistake that never should have happened, but it did. It was the first...

All my friends have called and offered me their bowling trophies and things like that. So if we win, we are going to have quite a collection of awards around the house.
