This is the greatest marathon I've ever seen.

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 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.

There?s always only five or six guys, maybe seven or eight guys that can win.
