JEREMY MAYFIELD QUOTES

"The 2006 season hasn't started the way we anticipated, but I'm still as excited about this team and season as I was back in January. We didn't get off to a good start last year in the first three races when we were faced with a new Dodge Charger, a different tire and a spoiler rule change. This year, a couple of accidents have kept us from the kind of performance we're capable of producing. Just like last year, nobody has panicked. This team isn't satisfied. We're ready to prove that starting this weekend.”

“We got things rolling in the right direction last year at Atlanta and that's what we expect to do this weekend. The No. 19 Dodge Dealers/UAW Dodge Chargers are better than last year. The Evernham Motorsports' engines have improved. We have the horsepower to run with any team out there. The team is communicating and working together. Everything is in place for the kind of performance we expect at Evernham Motorsports.”
