Stacy Compton Quotes
On Lowe’s: “This racetrack is a very special place because most of the teams, including ours, call the Charlotte, N.C., area home. As a driver, however, it’s special because it combines everything that makes for a great racetrack: Speed, handling, pit strategy, track position. The track’s been grated to be smoother. That will make it even faster. Hopefully, the increased speeds won’t come at the expense of competitive side-by-side racing.”

On the season: “There’s no question we’ve got to turn things around. We’ve had great cars and this team is too good for the kind of results we’ve been getting lately. We were in a crash of somebody else’s doing at Richmond, and that put us even further behind. It’s time for us to make our own luck – good luck – and the best way to do that is to run up front.”

Crew Chief Chris Rice Quote
On Lowe’s: “Now that they’ve taken the bumps out of Lowe’s, it’s going to be important to keep the car on the bottom groove in Turns 3 and 4. It looks like the fastest groove in Turns 1 and 2 is right in the middle. Too high or too low at either ends seems like it costs you a lot of speed.”
