Scott Sharp Quotations

multi-pack running, there were times when the car was really good and I charged into the top five, but it just wouldn't last for long and would go off.

I was forced to go around the outside of the kink in Turn 4 because a slow (Daytona) Prototype car was on the inside of the track. With all the marbles out there, the car just slid right off the road onto the grass, which would have been fine but unfortunately there were a lot of undulations and pits out there. The front splitter just dug into one of those and it ripped the front clip of the car off.

She's arguably the best on-track package there is in racing.

This was a good barometer for us. Pella shoots the ball a lot better than it shot (Tuesday) too, and I'd like to think our defense had a little bit to do with that. They missed a few shots inside and they have a tendency to snowball on you.

Businesses have not been able to identify employees who know what they are doing and have confidence to apply what they understand,

I saw the green car go big-time up in the air, and I went, 'Whoa!

Most senior management do not even know if their employees actually understand what they should be doing,

I was very appreciative. Sometimes when things go bad with one team, people start pointing fingers. It's this guy's fault, or that guy's, ... But they believed in me.

Therefore nurturing tends to be sporadic and untargeted.

Work-related stress is experienced by employees who do not have all that is required for their job function, it is also instrumental in leading to high turnover.

We had a couple really tough seasons, ... Unfortunately for everyone, things went spiraling in the wrong direction. As stronger teams came in with better technology, we became less and less competitive.

If management cannot identify what their employees do and do not know, how can they support them to do their job effectively?

Danica helps all of us. People may come out to see her but then see someone else win and become their fan.

Danica's bringing in a different viewer. If the ratings continue to be up and the attention strong, I don't see how it won't keep growing.

It's pretty obvious that Andretti Green Racing is a real switched-on program. Having four drivers is that much more information they can all share. Testing is so limited in the IRL ... anytime you can learn from three different drivers, it's an advantage.

It's a neat series and a pretty even playing field because the crews don't have a lot of time to reinvent the wheel. The cars are a little tail-happy and there are varying levels of (driver) talent, so it makes it exciting for the fans to watch.

The drivers are so close, you'll have to take a risk. I was in the top five, fell out, and I want to get back in.

The guys gave me some great pit stops as they have all year, ... That has been a real strength for us. We maximized what we had and got the job done.

It's just his year. Things are going really great for him. Dan's certainly won outright his fair share of races this year, but I think he's also been fortunate along the way as well. It just seems like he's putting one of those championship years together.

We were pretty pleased with the day. Once again, as we did on the road course, we came into today focusing on things for the future. We didn't get into the drafting game too much to post a great speed. We worked on a lot of bigger items on the car and learned a lot. I think we have a pretty good racecar right now. I'm sure we could go faster if we need to, but I think we got our job done.

It was a really good day. The road courses are an area we needed to improve on. John Dick and the Delphi squad really worked hard. We came here with the thought process that we don't race here, so being fast on the speed chart here really isn't that important, but let's throw different things at that car that may not even help the car here but give us good information for the other tracks. To be pretty competitive and still feel like we learned a lot, we're really pleased.

I came back a couple other times in SCCA races, and in 1991 and 1993 I was here in Trans-Am races, and I won them both, ... But those races I won were in more of a sedan-type car. I have great memories of this track.
