Elliott Sadler Work Quotations

Safety is the No. 1 issue for us. That's something that's come to the forefront, something that the drivers really want to work on. We want to make this sport as safe as we can, and NASCAR is working hand-in-hand with us to make sure we have that.

The crews and their families need this time off more than the drivers do. They are the ones that work the long, long hours.

This is a great feeling. We beat them all off pit road. Our guys worked so hard this off season and it paid off today.

All in all, I'm happy with the new Fusion in the draft. It doesn't get the aero tightness that we've had in the past. Ford has done a tremendous job in really giving us a great tool to work with. I can't wait to get in some racing conditions So far, so good; I give it an A.

We had a lot of contact tonight, but you know what? I'm not going to hang my head. These guys worked their butts off all year long but we didn't make the Chase. The world's not over with. The main thing is that we need to go and win a race. I think that would be good for all the guys.

I've got a great race team and we're all pulling together, ... This is what we work hard for -- we're all going to fail together or we're going to succeed together, and that's the way this 38 team is.

I've got a great comfort level working with Kevin -- I've worked with him now for two years and he's just been behind the scenes more than anything,

It's a great feeling, my guys have worked so hard this off-season. We've had the best pit crew in the garage the last couple of years and they showed it again today.

We have all sat down and thought of a couple of names and we will see what happens. We think a crew chief would love to work in this situation.
