F. Schumacher Round Quotations

I was freaked out. I get nervous, believe me. I kept asking the guys if we got bumped. It was like in '99 at Memphis when we didn't make a good pass in round one and then it started raining and raining. Joe Amato would have passed us in the points if we didn't qualify but NHRA gave us all one more chance Sunday morning and we got in. I got no sleep that night.

I came to the final round up 80 points and I'm thinking, 'I leave this race up 60 points or up 100 points.' That's huge.

That final round when (crew chief) Alan (Johnson) says, 'Big round,' you know it's important because he never says that.

It was just too wet to go out. I think we would have needed a boat propeller to power our way round the track,
