Jeremy Mayfield Chase Quotations

I think fans of those drivers just have to accept the idea that their teams just haven't been very good, very consistent or very lucky this year. It can happen. With only 10 qualifiers, good teams are going to miss the Chase every year. NASCAR will survive.

Well, the good news is that we started the Chase out better than we did last year, ... The bad news is that we battled the car all day long. We just couldn't get the handling right. We really wanted to come out of here with a top five or a top ten, but at least we didn't come out with a DNF.

You see it every week. Guys are staying out (on cautions) and leading laps and stuff, trying to get all the points you can if you're in the Chase or not. I've noticed it every week, and it will all add up at the end.
