What they’re saying

“It was good. We were lucky it didn't tear up like a lot of suspension. It was all cosmetic. It tore up a little bit of suspension parts, but we were able to fix all that. Mike David's here, and there's no one better. He's the best there is.”

— Sammy Solari, Race Winner

“There's some work to do. It's a handful, let me tell you. I've never had the time to work on this car. I put a lot of time and effort in my other one. I'm trying to do the same with this one so hopefully it will be as good as that one.”

“That's probably not fair to Adam. I couldn't catch him. I was behind him, but I couldn't beat him.”
