Scott Wimmer Quotes:
“I’m looking forward to Darlington – I enjoy running there. It’s an unusual track in that the turns are so different at each end. I remember running in a Busch race there once and I was leading the race. I don’t think there was even anyone around me and all of a sudden I was into the wall and had gotten my ‘Darlington Stripe’. Needless to say, I didn’t win that race. But I’m looking forward to getting back there – it’s one of the tracks that represent the ‘roots’ of NASCAR.”
