According Quotes
According to the manager, we had some people driving in and out. We get a little suspicious if we see more than a few cars there (of people who don't live there). It seemed there was more activity after the office closed late at night. More people outside. We asked the police for more service, and apparently they responded. It's been a lot quieter at night.
-
Buying Quotes
It's just like the automotive industry. With the knowledge that more women are buying cars than men, a car salesman would be foolhardy to show a woman a vanity mirror before he talks about price and performance. Women are savvy consumers, and we're talking with them about U-value and energy efficiency, much more often than color options or how easy our windows are to clean.

Battling Quotes
It was a tough race. It was long and a lot of side-by-side racing action. It was a good race overall, though. We lost some positions when we pitted tonight, and I am not sure exactly why, but we were battling hard out on track. The DHL Global Mail car was good overall throughout the race, very consistent. It was fun at the end fighting with cars to earn my eighth place finish. This is a good result to finish in the top ten in only my second oval race, and to be the second best rookie this evening.
-
Busy Quotes
It's a great facility. This track is very difficult, but it's all about practice. We're slowly figuring it out. I think we are going to have a pretty busy race with nine hours, all the cars and all the corners. I really like this track. It's a lot of work, but I like the fast corners. You need to be so precise.
-
Among Quotes
It points to a growing interest among businesses in using fuel cells to power factories and buildings. The most compelling reason for GM to collaborate with Dow is ultimately to reduce the cost of fuel cells and improve their durability so that we may put them in cars by the end of the decade.
-
Admired Quotes
I told them (the other drivers) I admired them and appreciated them because they're out racing these cars for people to see, ... These (cars) aren't hangar queens. They (the racers) are very selfless about sharing their love for these cars with everybody here. You could tell from the reception, with cars in the paddock area, that a lot of these fans here are excited to see these cars again.
-
Consumers Quotes
It's not the government's job to design automobiles. Also, there's a great deal of unrealistic expectation about what fuel-efficient cars can do. If the government really wants to secure reduction in oil consumption for cars, it should just leave gas prices alone. With enough time, consumers will reduce their consumption in response to higher costs.

Car Quotes
It's not the finish I wanted but at least it's a good finish. It's a shame we got the penalty at the end. It's hard to have these cars race this close and not touch each other. Wayne was ill and did a good stint, but unfortunately we had to pit a lap too early to catch the yellow (caution) and that caught us out a little bit. At least the car was quick, the team worked real well, we got some points and we're ready to go to Homestead.
-
Carry Quotes
It's the greatest game in the world live, and we have to translate that to home. Think about NASCAR. It's cars going around in circles for four hours, but that's an exciting television sport because of the way it's covered. And we have to do the same thing with this sport. Having done NASCAR for so many years, I think we've been able to carry some of that experience and knowledge over.

Crapshoot Quotes
It's going to be a crapshoot at Talladega. It always is. It doesn't matter where you start at places like this and Daytona. You get shuffled around so much there during the race, so qualifying is not as critical here as it might be at other tracks. The important thing is to be there at the end and see what happens. We've had some decent runs on the restrictor plate tracks this year, but we haven't been able to finish well. We've run up front at times and the cars have been good. Hopefully, we can miss everything this weekend and get a good finish.
-
Daytona Quotes
It's become a problem. We know it's a problem. Any solution that we look for, we have to make sure we don't make the cars less safe instead of more safe. That's the No. 1 thing ... We've got to make sure that whatever we do to cars that it's scientific and not shade tree. We've thought about this before. I think we'll ratchet up the research and get a lot more input, but I don't think it will happen before the Daytona 500.
-
Advanced Quotes
The NFL has provided GM with an outstanding opportunity to showcase the benefits of our advanced hybrid technology to the world. Transit buses are an excellent application for hybrid propulsion systems, because buses consume significantly more fuel than cars or light trucks and they are often utilized in stop-and-go city traffic.
-
Change Quotes
That's one of the easiest things you can do, and it doesn't cost anything. We don't think most people understand that vehicle exhaust components are carcinogenic. Too many people stand in back of their station wagons loading the back while the cars are actually on. We hope that by learning that these emissions are harmful to people's health, they will change some of those habits.
-
Aspects Quotes
It's so important for people to see aspects of the United States that are not those that are represented in our popular culture, which is what they see. They have a distorted view of the United States, and it's kind of embarrassing. They think we all have 15 cars and live in big mansions.
-
Economy And Economics Quotes
Economics was one reason we decided to sanction again. For the most part our cars have pretty much stayed IMCA legal but some of the stuff here was getting pricey. The change in the claim rule to include the swap option was another reason. The driver getting claimed will still go home with a motor if he chooses to.

Car Quotes
The ball's in our court, ... All we have to do is go and try to win each race and not worry about the points, forget them, and just let them fall where they may-- We're coming to two racetracks that the 38 car usually runs good at. We're pretty optimistic. All we got to do is just go through the motions, get our cars comfortable, and we're going to let the points take care of themselves.
-
Built Quotes
It kind on mimics what happened the last time it was paved. Obviously our cars are different now from what they were then. ...The track is real smooth. ...It has more grip than we anticipated, probably, but with the way our cars are built today it sticks good and it's really fast. But as far as the paving job, it's really nice.

Car Quotes
It was made for me. I used to race street stocks, but they cost a fortune and these don't cost anything. I think I won enough money to pay this car off already. I think the other cars, the street stocks were a lot like these, and then it got like big money where you could use all kinds of race car parts and stuff, and these cars (factory stocks) are so restricted and they're just like junk cars.
-
Blake Quotes
I've had injuries but not the devastation we've had this year. You think about high school kids and they don't have all the stuff that adults have. All they really have is their cars and their friends. To lose a friend is a big part of their world. But kids are pretty resilient. We talked about how Blake worked hard to get where he was. His body won't be on the field but his spirit will be there with us.

Classes Quotes
I've learned a lot and I'm definitely glad I've been through this. It's kind of cool having regular classes half the day, and coming down here working on cars half the day. I've learned a skill through this, and I know I'll have a job. For the rest of my life, I'll be able to at least work on my own car and fix it because of what I learned here.
-
Contention Quotes
I've learned a lot about New Hampshire over the last couple of races, ... It's flat and fast and I think I'm improving with every lap that I run there.We accomplished making the 'Chase' but now it's time to focus on going after the championship. We have a great team and great race cars so if we can run consistently up front I don't think there's any reason why we couldn't be in contention for the big prize.
-
Army Quotes
Not a great finish but an outstanding effort. We struggled in practice yesterday and I had concern. But Ryan (crew chief Ryan Pemberton) and the crew put a whole new setup in the car for the start of the race and let me tell you -- the Army Chevy was bad to the bone. One of the best cars I have ever driven. It was just incredible, I mean incredible on how good the car drove.
-
Fat Quotes
It was a great race. There's not much more to say really. If you like racing, then you would have loved to watch this one I can tell you. It just doesn't get any better than that the way the top-three finished. The first three cars were dueling it out for at least the last 20 laps. This kind of finish just shows that it's not over until the fat lady sings.
-
Bad Quotes
It was a good run, a real good run, ... We qualified really bad but got from the back up to the front and it turned out real good. It was just a long day, but I really had pretty smooth stuff all day long, only a couple of little things happened. The jack broke early but we got that right back. And then, at the end, I just, the lapped cars were really tough to get around on the get go and that got me way behind. Other than that, it was a good day.
