Quotes by Darian Grubb

“Everyone on our entire team made comments about how calm things were on the pit box. Everyone realizes now maybe thats where weve gone wrong in the past. Weve been too aggressive and too uptight. The patience paid off, and if we can carry that lesson through the season, well be shooting for a championship.”

“We had a great night.”

“Everybody did his job. The pit stops were absolutely incredible. When they interviewed me on TV (late in the race), I told them that we had the best car and the best driver and he was in first. Why would I be nervous?”

“Why should I be nervous? Weve got the best car and the best driver out there, and he was in first place.”

“Chads leadership is second to none. We really miss that. But then, its also given us a chance to expand on our roles. We get to grow within our positions, and it makes us a tighter team. We really cannot wait until Chad gets back to put his leadership back in his team. Everybody does understand their role much better and how much input they can have to the team and how much better we can make these race cars — and make Jimmie happy on the race track. You can see what Jimmie can do in the last two laps.”
