Ryan Mathews Quotations

We're happy with it, ... We were really good on long runs, but there were a lot of cautions and wrecks. I was not very good on restarts. I was up to second at one point and fell back to sixth. I got back to fourth and was working on Steve Carlson for third, but we didn't quite have enough laps left to finish the job.

Now that they have cancelled the last three races, I guess that is where we are ending up, ... Second in the points is good and I'm really happy to be Rookie of the Year. I would have liked to have seen what we could have done with more races. I don't think that the series ever got going the way that people would have liked.

We have Oktoberfest at La Crosse this weekend, ... That's an open special event that they have every year. It's a 100-lap, straight-rail car race on Sunday. We'll be in that race.

Both of our cars are super late models, ... I'd like to run that race if I could find a car to use, but I don't have any plans to be in it. It would be nice if I could.

The burger market is oversaturated. These Mexican chains offer mass-market products and you don't have to be a member of an ethnic group to like it. It is a way to grow these chains as more and more Americans eat away from home.
