Sauter on the Auto Club 300 and the California Speedway … "I’ve always managed to run well at California, so I’m looking forward to this weekend. Last year, I had a mechanical problem in qualifying and had to start in the rear, but I had a strong car and was able to work my way into a top ten finish. This team has a great deal of momentum going to California. We could have had three straight top tens, maybe even a win, if the debris hadn’t ruined our day at Nashville. The guys on this Quality Farm Stores/Morton Salt team have really busted their tails getting this car ready for this week. This race team just keeps getting better and better. The pit stops have been great, and Gene (Crew Chief Nead) has done an excellent job calling the races. Now, we want to go to California and had another top ten finish on our resume."   News and Results | Point Standings | 2001 Schedule | 2000 Schedule and Results   Home | Winston Cup | Grand National | Bill Elliott Racing | Raycefan's Rave In-Car Radios | Silly Season | Forum | Photo Gallery | Newsletter | In the Pits ©Copyright 2001 Race 2 Win
