Jimmy Johnson Everybody Quotations

I feel that the point system and the same points being available for everybody is a good thing,

Just telling them to do their best job, just the normal stuff to give everybody a shot in the arm, get them excited, get them fired up for the race. Something from his side saying 'I believe in you guys. I've trained you well, do your job today,' and everybody did.

Last year, everybody felt that the champion was going to be a team that made it clean through the final 10,

I think sometimes we hit short tracks and everybody feels that they can be really aggressive and slide the car around. Jeff, he's sharp and knows what to do and how to make the car last.

I'm shocked just like everybody else just how close the championship race is and I think that over the next five it's only going to be more interesting, more aggressive, more stress and pressure, ... It's going to be right down to the very end, I think.

We know that you've got to collect points, ... Kurt (Busch) last year was very consistent and collected the most points. That's everyone's baseline. You go into the final 10, if somebody is on a tear and wins a bunch, everybody is going to have to adjust their game. But going into any series, you want to cover your bases and be solid. . . We'll go to Loudon and get our feet wet. We can spend our first two or three races just feeling things out to see where we need to be.

There is so much you can lose there. I think everybody is real nervous about Talladega and hopefully everybody drives that way,

I'm going to bring something new. There are enough shows out there with all the nuts and bolts and stats and all the stuff that goes with our sport. I want to bring in a totally different aspect of what goes on once those cameras shut off and everybody goes on to their normal way of life.

It's part of our sport, ... It's kind of like going to a football game, and you hope you see a big hit or a big tackle. It's part of the theater that's involved with our sport; it's part of what draws fans in. If we were out there in go-karts running 10 miles an hour, they wouldn't be watching. It's part of the risk. Of course, I don't want anybody to crash, I don't want to crash, but we've made a lot of gains in the safety department so that we are having wrecks and everybody is walking away.
