Quotes by Ron Fellows

“It makes it easier for everybody, so Im not too happy about that.”

“We started our session a little late and when we finally got out there, we got black-flagged just before I was going to start my quick lap, ... Our guys have been working hard and thats a decent result for my first time out. I just want to thank Paul.”

“We got out in the session just a little late. When I was going to start my first quick lap I was black flagged. We just had one lap to qualify and we had a fairly decent run. I had enough of a gap between myself and the car in front to get a clean lap. The tires werent quite up to pressure, but its a pretty good result for Pontiac and I appreciate Paul letting me qualify. Sitting in Pauls and Jans seat isnt the most comfortable thing for me, so we figured its easier for me to get out mid-race than for me to get in.”

“Its special for me. This is home, ... I dont know a lot of the other drivers have this kind of luxury. Its an hour from home, and this is where I did most of my growing up. My first car racing experience was here, and Ive just had a number of great memories of Mosport.”

“Weve got a lot of miles there,”

“Everyone wants to give you well wishes, and you do your best to accommodate everybody. I think people understand that your job is to drive a race car, and its a little tougher doing double-duty on the weekend.”

“I got a real good jump at the start and I decided to go around the outside, ... The next thing I knew, there were cars sideways in front of me. I swung wide and didnt get touched. We were lucky.”

“Tried to go wide at the start and just got lucky. My tires were going at the end, if there had been three more laps, Lou probably would have gotten by me.”

“A driver needs complete trust in his crew chief, and I certainly have that with Dan,”

“The effort that Dan puts into motivating the crew, his enthusiasm, and his work ethic energize the entire team, ... He will do anything, stay up all hours, to make the car right. Thats a testament to his dedication and his desire to win. His record speaks for itself, and I wish our paths had crossed a lot sooner.”
