Donny Schatz Quotations

We're pumped up and ready to get back racing. Australia has been very, very good to me over the years. I've worked as hard as I ever have to get a good situation for me over there.

The thrill of second's really gone. We really need to get that one extra spot.

I guess it says a lot for this whole team. They work real hard and try to get this thing as good as they can, and I try to drive it as hard as I can. Sometimes it's probably too hard and it gets me in trouble. I guess the whole goal is to be consistent. It's a shame it's this late in the year, but there's always next year.

We had a great racecar tonight. It was awful exciting to be that decent. To come from ninth and race the way we did, the racecar was just better, plain, flat and simple.

You don't worry what's behind you. You worry about what's in front of you, and there wasn't a whole lot in front of me.

Lately we have had a lot of bad things happening with broken motors, flat tires and things like that. Tonight we didn't have anything bad happen to us. We were decent in the beginning and then got to running single file. We were happy to finish in the top five and hopefully this will get us going in the right direction for next week and we can carry some momentum into Knoxville.
