Car Owner Richard Childress Statement on Winning 2003 Owner Championship

"This was a goal we set at the begining of the season for our Busch program at RCR, to win the Owners Championship with two different drivers. Butch Hylton and the entire PayDay team worked very hard week in and week out to acheive this goal with Kevin Harvick and Johnny Sauter. The No. 21 team has been a top performer throughout the year, and are well deserving of this championship. I'm extremely happy for Hershey Foods and the PayDay brand. It's their first year as a primary sponsor with RCR, so to be able to win the Owners Championship is an incredible accomplishment. We're really looking forward to celebrating our Owners Championship in Homestead next week."

Crew Chief Butch Hylton Statement on Winning the 2003 Owners Championship

"This is such an awesome accomplishment for the guys that work on this car and work back at the shop. Everyweek we've come out and have been competitive and run up front. We've got a great owner, drivers and crew, and we all had one goal at the begining of the season, to win the Owners Championship. All the elements came together for us this year. The engine shop, the fab shop and all the guys that work on the No. 21 car are awesome. This was our goal at the begining of the season, and I'm just so excited that we accomplished it. We've got a great sponsor with PayDay and Hershey Foods, they played a critical part in enabling us to try and win this champioship with two different drivers. I can't wait to get to Homestead and try and put an exlamation point on the season with a win."
