Gary Baker Quotations

One thing Bristol doesn't need is more advertising, ... All they have to do is print the tickets and open the gates.

Never underestimate Bruton Smith, ... He's got a lot of P.T. Barnum in him.

Several hundred dial-up numbers have been reserved for our billable subscribers, making it easier for them to get on and stay on. We see the free service as an on-ramp to the Internet, for first-time users. They can experience the Internet before they have to pay for it.

Our objective with this project is to build some facilities that will improve the safety and comfort of our patients and employees, and make room for our expansion of services.

We know it can be done because it's been done before,

We very much do compete with them. We have 4 million active subscribers. That makes us a major player.

A lot of our users are newcomers to the Web, and we want to make it as easy as possible for them.

A lot of it is dictated by banks. They won't finance anything that is not marketable.

It's doable but is it practical? That's another question, ... The biggest obstacle I see is clearing all the buildings from the infield. When I ran the track (1978-82) there weren't as many structures as there are now. It seems to me that it would be very costly to tear everything down, then build it back just to play one football game.

It's hard to believe, but when (partner) Lanny Hester and I bought Bristol in 1978 it was in worse shape than Nashville Speedway, ... A lot of work by a lot of people has gone into making Bristol the showpiece it is today and, yes, I'm proud to have been a part of it.
