We have had more sales for this year's grand prix than any other, and we have been helped in that by the fact that Jenson had 10 podiums last season and looks like a winner. It is good for British motor racing if he is there and doing well.

We have the opposite problem at Ford Motor Company. Right now, we have approximately 700 technician graduates who have been trained through our technical career entry programs and are now looking for employment.

We need to work on maintaining what we have, getting a little tougher and better. We don't want to get fat and content or cut our motor off.

Unlike motor sport, I didn't get into music for the live performances. I like writing and studio work and seeing how a song can come to life.

We'll have a variety of family shows, concerts, motor sports, wrestling and speakers series. I have some major -- and I mean major -- concerts that will be announced in the coming months.

Unfortunately, we lost Dustin; he was never able to get his motor running, and that was disappointing for him.

To have a fatality in motorsport is always terribly sad, but for a 14-year old to lose his life is quite devastating and my thoughts are mainly of course with Chris's family, but also his team and the many friends he had in the motor cycle racing world,

We don't have a zero-tolerance policy, but we do have a policy where we will not allow people to operate motor vehicles if they're impaired, ... And that's the judgment of the officer at the scene. I personally support the officer's judgment. He's experienced. He made a call. If someone wants to challenge it, that's why we have courts in this country.

We are always listening to ideas presented by our customers and in an effort to keep up with their demands, we are adding those quality improvements to Atlanta Motor Speedway.

You have my personal guarantee that all the resources of Ford Motor Company are directed to resolve this situation. I want all of our owners to know that there are two things that we never take lightly. Your safety and your trust.

The only thing I can figure out without going into the motor is that it looks like it broke a main stud (one of three inside the engine which holds the crankshaft in place), ... From there, somehow it wedged the rod in the cylinder which eventually led to it breaking. As soon as it started, you could tell something was wrong. It was the first time in all my years in racing that I've seen something like this happen to us.

When you get into a pack of cars, then you feel the problem worst, handicapping the driver and handicapping our ability to race. When there's a crosswind, the cars suffer badly as well, which makes them even more difficult to control. They are always fun to drive, but motor racing should be about the best drivers racing the best cars, which offers the best challenge, and my feeling now is that we have come to a bit of a cul-de-sac.

There are actually very few predictors of Alzheimer's disease, ... This study makes us think about the spectrum of clinical signs of AD beyond changes in memory and behavior and motor skills. Changes in BMI are easy to measure in a doctor's office without an expensive scan.

When we originally bought our motor homes, there was no ordinance against it.

We had some terrific meetings including one with the NHTSA Administrator and the Secretary of Transportation. The NTEA decided to host this event to raise the profile of all of the associations and to educate the decision-makers in DC that the motor vehicle industry is more than just the big passenger-car manufacturers. The day was a great success and hopefully, it will be the beginning of many more joint efforts among the associations.

We are excited to partner with TEAM, RADD and NHTSA on this campaign, designed to raise awareness of two major safety issues -- impaired driving and seatbelt use.

We were fearful for a time that the motor may have failed permanently. If that were the case, we'd never be able to use the arm again.

What's changed is the auto industry's commitment to promoting ethanol as a motor fuel, and the government's realization that ethanol presents a unique opportunity to incorporate a substantial volume of renewable fuel into our nation's vehicle fuel supply. Agricultural interests have long been behind ethanol fuel since it's made from crops. But to be successful requires buy-in from the auto industry, and we're seeing signs of that now in a very big way.

You have two ranked teams and I think this is the second-biggest stadium in the country. They talk about this maybe being the largest crowd ever at the stadium, national TV again, play for a lot; if that doesn't get your motor running, there's something wrong.

What we are doing here is really unique. We are reaching out to young women and linking them to the excitement of the auto industry and car racing. One of the goals of this program is to show them that there are women in every aspect of the motor industry and they can do it too.

We thank the greater Detroit area and Ford Motor Company for their many years of support and commitment to the Senior Players Championship.

What?s funny is that a lot of people think Michael has achieved so much success compared to me because he loves motor racing and I don?t, which is crazy.

We changed motors for the last run. It was the motor we had in for our first run and there was a little problem then. We fixed that and the car ran well. This is sure a lot better feeling than we had two weeks ago (when the team failed to qualify at Memphis). Having more power sure makes the car work better.

We are very disappointed in our inability to recover past costs for this program, but it was imperative that the contract be renegotiated to curtail future program investments and cash outflows. The renegotiation allows for an increase in motor pricing for 14 motors to be delivered in 2006 and 2007. Pricing for an additional 21 motors in 2008 and beyond will be subject to negotiation during the next year.

We're very pleased to announce tonight that we have reached a tentative agreement with the Ford Motor Company... during what proved to be a very difficult and challenging set of negotiations,

Believe it or not, when practice begins on Thursday morning at Texas Motor Speedway, that will be the first time I've ever even sat in a Grand National car.

Biggest issue to any race track, as far as being quick, is its location. The closer to sea level you are, the quicker the car can make horsepower. Any time you walk outside and it feels good to you, your race car motor feels the same way. Cool weather makes the cars go fast. No doubt about it.

Everyone was dancing and telling jokes, and plenty of things that need to stay in that motor home.

Fatal crash involvements for 16-year-olds fell 26 percent from 1993 to 2003 as states began to enact graduated licensing laws. But this has not solved the problem by any means. Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for teenagers. The later they start driving, the better.

Television advertising is very expensive, and with hundreds more television channels there is concern about a message actually getting across.

There are hundreds of different opportunities and everyone is trying to find a more productive mix than the one they currently have.

Quiet as can be between shifting. When you go to neutral it stops, no motor running, no nothing. It's quiet.

Race tracks have somewhat gone away from building charisma and building an identity. They all seem to look the same.

The Wegner motor was pretty good today, and I could get into the corners alright, but we were binding in the center of the corner just enough that I had to wait to get back into the gas. If I tried to get on the gas when I wanted, the car just slid the nose and pushed up the banking. The car was close, it just wasn't good enough to race with all those Cup guys.

It wasn't the kind of comedy I was a big fan of. I used to do a monologue on the Division of Motor Vehicles, and it was like six or seven minutes long. They had to follow me from beginning to end. I did a routine about buying a blender at a drugstore. It was about seven or eight minutes long.

It was a very busy day for the EMS in Shelton. The vast majority of our calls were weather related. We had a ton of motor vehicle accidents, but nothing really major.
