Elliott Sadler Hard Quotations

Right now, I could care less about New Hampshire. It's Bristol, California and Richmond -- that's it. We're going to bring the best stuff we've got these last three races starting with this weekend we're bringing back the car we won the pole and finished second with in the spring. It's hard to say whether you want to be going to Bristol with the situation we're in right now. It's a place where you're forced into a lot of situations that you don't necessarily want to be in. There's absolutely no give and take and anything can happen there so it's a well earned top-five if you can get one.

We can't really worry about whom we're racing and who we're not racing. We just need to go up there and run the best way we can, whether it's taking chances like two tires or four tires or whatever. I feel like the pressure is not on us. I think the guys that are only one or 11 points behind or 10 points ahead of 10th place have more pressure than we have. I think that we have to go up with the mindset that we've just got to race as hard as we can and not really worry about the points.

When Newman ran that lap, I know Ryan Newman, he's not out of that gas long. It's pretty neat for him to go out and lay down a fast lap and then me kind of go after it, because I know what kind of competitor he is and how hard he had to drive.

Every sponsor wants to be a part of it, every driver, every team, but there are only so many pieces of the pie. If I don't make the chase, will I feel like I failed my sponsor? Yes, I will, because I've been in the top 10 all year long until the last month. We were almost counting our chickens before they were hatched around June, July, so it's going to be hard for me to look my sponsors in the face if we don't make it.

This track really isn't about the driver, ... This is all about the fab shop and the guys in the engine shop. I can't say enough about how hard my guys work. They gave me a great car.

I've got a great race team and we're all pulling together, ... This is what we work hard for -- we're all going to fail together or we're going to succeed together, and that's the way this 38 team is.

I just got on the brakes way too hard and locked it up. I could have just sat there and rode third and thought that was cool, but I want to give my guys a win.

This is a great feeling. We beat them all off pit road. Our guys worked so hard this off season and it paid off today.

It's a great feeling, my guys have worked so hard this off-season. We've had the best pit crew in the garage the last couple of years and they showed it again today.

It's hard to put into words right now the feelings I've got. I feel like I've got to come in and carry my load this week and do my job to get the car as close as I can.
