For the past 33 years I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: 'If today were the last day of my life would I want to do what I am about to do today?' And whenever the answer has been 'No' for too many days in a row I know I need to change something.
The car business is a lot like football. In football you have to win once a week. In the car business you have to win every day.
Discount air fares a car in every parking space and the interstate highway system have made every place accessible - and every place alike.

A guy came to the shop every day. A lot of guys put the foam like stuff that forms to you kinda like the Indy car guys run. He fitted it up and it felt real good so we're going to try to run it.
I think we'll be in pretty good shape. We've got the same car we ran in all the speedway races since 2001 and it's been a real good car for us. It's led every race we've been in.

I get bored. We seem to have been having a little bit more time off this winter than last winter. I'm always itching to get back in the car. It's going to get harder so I've got to make sure that I'm doing everything I possibly can do to make sure I can start next season how I ended this season.
I promise you a police car on every sidewalk.
