Crew Remarks: (Fred)
“Yes!!! How about that weekend?! I’d like to see just about a month of that kind of weather. One thing I learned this weekend is never try to race three cars with three rookies. Just kidding, it was actually kind of enjoyable.
To the #47 fans: I guess I have to eat my words. We really didn’t run any better, BUT I can promise that we are far from giving up!
The #57 team had quite a race! Everyone knows I like the Super Street class. The division is fast and affordable to boot! I think Chan learned more last Saturday night then he has all season. It’s funny how the veterans can really teach a rookie how to control aggressive road rage.
Last weekend we put a third car out on the track. I think young Jourdan needs to get himself a new crew chief for the #67. I really don’t know too much about how to get a late model to turn left fast. All kidding aside, I really think he did fine. He seriously did way better than I could do.
This weekend is the weekend that we have been waiting for… the ACT race! In my book ACT is one of the best series that I’ve ever seen. During no other season have we had so many problems and at such a bad time. What doesn’t kill our team will make our team stronger. Hopefully everything will work out. We will try (emphasis on the word try) to qualify for the main event."
"Until then, drive fast and talk dirty!”
