“I can't believe it. Two years ago I was here as a visitor of Dale Earnhardt Jr. and he invited me to come and stay in his motor home. That's the only other time I've been to victory lane.”
Denny Hamlin
“I could imagine it would be sold out very quickly. Even regular Dale Earnhardt Jr. special paint schemes seem to sell very quickly as it is. Something like that would have a very huge demand. It would probably sell out in pre-orders.”
Dan Andrews
“[Some of the best days for Dale Earnhardt, Jr. (No. 8 Budweiser Chevrolet) have come at Texas Motor Speedway, with] Little E ... It has turned into quite a fascinating track to drive on. I think the fans enjoy having us here. They buy a lot of tickets every time we come around. They are really enthusiastic. That was one of the first things I noticed when I raced here as a rookie, how much more excited they were. It is one of the better tracks on the circuit for me and I really enjoy coming here.”

“I am kind of hoping he has a better year this year. If Dale Jr. wins, I always buy a round on the house.”
Rose Bergquist
“I buy, buy, buy. I buy just about anything I can find — anything that has to do with Dale Jr.”
“Dale [Earnhardt] Jr. actually held that steering wheel of the Budweiser car. Jeff Gordon actually held the steering wheel of that DuPont car.”
Bob Lutz
“Dale Jr. and somebody got together and shot up in front of me and I got into the back of them. My brakes locked up and the impact crunched the nose in. The Army car never drove the same after that. It was a pretty frustrating deal to have a car drive that good and then all of a sudden get wounded. For a while we had an easy top-10 car.”
