The loss of a child is totally different because it's contrary to nature, ... When it happens, you question everything you've ever known.

They came in here with only one loss and we stuck it to 'em this game. That feels really good.

We really want some momentum heading into the state tournament. Any loss now is tough on you.

I have to be honest and say I think NASCAR was a lot more proactive in this situation than anybody has given them credit for. Did Dale's accident speed that up? Yes it did.

I had to be the only child in this country who ever called his father 'The King.'

I look at it as smart growth. Smart marketing. Is there a case to be made that we're too many places and we're too many places too fast? There probably is. But at the same time, there's not a seat to be had in the house, and people are tuning in all over the country. So you can't argue against it, either.
