Jimmy Johnson Three Quotations

I've heard all the coaches complaining about the new CBA rules limiting padded practice. I don't like the reduction to just 15 padded practices during the season. When I coached, we always practiced in pads; and three days a week.

I didn't own a nice camera until that trip. So you can definitely see my photos develop as the days went by. The first three or four days weren't very good.

I think one big factor is testing and when a team chooses to test. We have been saving our test sessions for the final ten. We have three more tests coming up.its hard to know why you go from dominating to running tenth. But we have seen it a lot this year. Teams get on a hot streak and then people catch up.

Three road games. That's a long trip across the country (to Seattle). This was a beat-up football team and a tired football team.

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.

When it runs out, you may have a stutter that will last three seconds and then it's empty. When it's over, it's over.

Two to three years down the road, ... other companies not on a model like Dell's will be in trouble.

After three or four years you finally learn how to race 400-mile races. The first couple of years you take too many chances.

Oh, no, oh, no. I feel very good, and I'm very happy with the race team. We've all been doing our jobs and having fun in the process, but it's a long season. We're only three races into it. I know our cars can be better. They can be faster, they can drive a little better.
