Jimmy Johnson Wreck Quotations

It's part of our sport. It's kind of like going to a football game, and you hope you see a big hit or a big tackle. It's part of the theater that's involved with our sport; it's part of what draws fans in. If we were out there in go-karts running 10 miles an hour, they wouldn't be watching. It's part of the risk. Of course, I don't want anybody to crash, I don't want to crash, but we've made a lot of gains in the safety department so that we are having wrecks and everybody is walking away.

If you wreck enough people the old Dale Earnhardt idea will inevitably come into play. Get ready, because it's coming.

I feel bad. I don't know what else to say, ... I started a wreck and took out a lot of good cars. And I've apologized to everyone and called everyone. That was the last thing I intended to do and I feel horrible for it. So I'm taking the responsibility.
