Dover quotes

I went through some of the press releases that I received this week and thought I would compile a few quotes from them for you. Enjoy.

"Dover is sweet. Going into both corners, you drop off into the corner big time. It's like jumping off a ledge. The whole car lifts up and then you land. When you land, that's huge. The attitude of the car when you land, that's a big deal." - Joey Logano

"Probably the relationship that Steve (Addington) and I have. I think it just works since I get fired up and he's always the calm voice over the radio. We're proud of the fact it just works. There are some times where the reins have to be pulled back on me. I'll admit it." -- Kyle Busch,on what he's going to look to during the last nine races to challenge for the championship.

"We shake off every race that is behind us - whether we win or finish 40th. We are a dangerous organization and we enter each race thinking we can win. And that's what we hope to do at Dover." -- Jeff Gordon

"Most of the time you just go with your instinct and pick a line and hope for the best. Dover is an extremely fast track. You really need to concentrate the entire race just to make sure you don't get caught up in someone else's mistake." -- Kevin Harvick

"It seems like this year, with this new car that qualifying is more important at every track, but at Dover it's always been that way. If you look at the guys who qualify up front, they typically finish up there as well." -- Jamie McMurray

"You truly are going downhill in a short period of time. It feels like that. It feels like it gets high in the air and then when you get to the corner, it falls." -- Jeff Burton

"Me and Tony, Jr. (Eury, crew chief) have worked together for a long, long time. I think Rick (Hendrick) likes being in the middle of it because it is fun. I don't know of any driver on the race track that doesn't get hot under the collar." -- Dale Earnhardt Jr., on how he and Tony Jr. work together.

"It's a pretty cool trophy, and it was an honor to win the first one. I would like to get another one. I have a funny story about the trophy. When we got it, I put it out in the shop. Our dog, Mopar, went out to the shop with me and he started barking at it. So it's a pretty scary trophy." -- Ryan Newman

"I'm a big believer in momentum and I feel like that's why we started the Chase so strong. You have to have confidence and you've got to have confidence in your team, your crew, everything, your equipment, and right now we've got a lot of confidence that we've got great equipment, good guys." -- Greg Biffle

"There was also a pork chop meeting that took place where Rick had a pork chop in his hand one time with his son Ricky and Lance McGrew, he was so mad, he was flinging the bone around and the meat went flying off all over the inside of the truck. So, there is a pork chop meeting. When you get to a pork chop meeting, you know it is pretty bad. I think milk and cookies is a step before that." -- Jimmie Johnson,on his observations on how Rick Hendrick does things.

Good weather for Dover racing. Really looking forward to the Nationwide and Cup races today and tomorrow. Qualifying is on the Speed Channel now. Who is everybody else choosing to win the cup tomorrow? Jacko? Sally? DarrylWaltrip?

About this blog:
I am hopeful that this will be a place where people can air their two cents' worth about a race, catch up on the gossip and share their opinions on the rules and regulations of NASCAR. I have always felt that there has been a need for such a place in Maine and that this blog helps to fill the void.
