Your favorite quotes about your favorite driver?

Question

i just heard on speed a story about buddy baker speaking on a radio show the other night. buddy, well known for his quotes, said:

"the great thing about kyle busch is that his wallet hasn't become wedged between his right foot and the throttle," meaning he hasn't let his monetary success slow him down any.

so what's your favorite quote about (NOT BY) your favorite driver?

i'll start: besides the one above, i like the following:

"kyle busch is the only cat i know who can go three-wide all by himself" - darrell waltrip

"busch is down there hoppin' around like a little league shortstop" - also dw

"if you think I'm good, just wait until my younger brother gets here." - kurt busch, before kyle moved up to the big leagues.

so what's your favorite quote about YOUR favorite driver?

Answer 1

"You hit me once, I hit you back. You hit me twice, I'll take you out. I get fined, I get fined."  ~ Rusty Wallace

"I just show up & drive the car." ~ Carl Edwards

"You hit me again & I'll put the son of a b***h through the wall for you." ~ Dale Jarrett to Jeff Gordon after Gordon hit him causing DJ to spin out. (It was back in 99 when DJ won the championship. I have it on tape so I can proove DJ said that.)

I'm not sure those are word for word. But they're close and the concept is there.

Answer 2

Shake and Bake!!!

Answer 3

Gordon is not my favorite driver, but I've always loved this quote about him from Bo Jackson.

"I guarantee you that's what Jeff Gordon does. He uses everything the fans throw at him to stoke his fire and it drives him to be better at what he does".

Answer 5

"I got run over by a bug eyed dummy!"- Sterling Marlin when one of my favorites, Biffle, spun him out at Watkin's Glen.

Answer 6

"I go race to race to race, and that's how I've always done it. I focus as much as I can on the upcoming weekend and when we leave, I start focusing on the next race. Maybe I have a one-track mind."

Jeff Gordon talking about his approach to races.

"Way too much thinking for me."

Kevin Harvick when asked: Looking at how the Chase has sort of played out here and you're sort of talking about how maybe luck is going to play a big factor into it. Is it possible that you could sort of take maybe that factor out of it by points racing, take the luck factor out of it by points racing, and conceivably if you're points racing you'd probably be leading the Chase right now? Again, it might be easier said than done, so I'm wondering your take on that.

It's a high-speed, high-banked soup bowl. It's a monster. It's Bristol's Big Brother."

Answer 11

My favorite driver has been referred to as "Methusalah", I'm guessing because of his age. (Mark Martin). I don't know if that counts as a quote, but I thought it was a little amusing.

"Even if he never wins a championship, he's a champion. But it would be good for him to see the hardware." Jeff Burton, not sure if that is word for word, but the point is there.

Answer 12

"He might be a "bad boy", but I guarantee you this, he's gonna be a great man" DW

For you Superdave, and for Kurt-

"I admire Kurt for his passion, I've never seen anybody learn everything you have to learn in this sport so quickly"

Jack Roush

"Kurt is a very driven young man, extremely focused, extremely competitive"

Roush GM Geoff Smith

"Kurt's a talent that comes along every 10 years"

Legendary crew chief Robbie Loomis

"Kurt has been a great driver from the beginning"
