“Qualifying is first and foremost, ... Once we can achieve that initial goal, the next objective for California is to finish the race in the top 20. That won't be easy, but it's possible even though there are more than 20 world-class drivers competing in the Nextel Cup Series. I really feel the CENTRIX Financial team can do it. I am backed by a quality crew chief, a quality crew and have Hendrick horsepower under the hood of my CENTRIX Financial Chevy.”
Boris Said
“The goal was just to qualify.”
Beckie Scott
“You can't blame anybody, especially Kenny. It's his goals that have got us to within a chance of qualifying.”
Darren Fletcher
“Our goal at this tournament was to qualify for the quarter-finals and we have done that, but we still have to build through our next games.”
Paul DiPietro
“He's really focused on the shot -- his goal is to get to 47 this year and that would automatically qualify him for state. He has the potential to get to 45 -- 47 might be a stretch, but if he keeps working he can get there. He hasn't really practiced the discus much because his focus has been on the shot.”
Pedro Marquez
“It was a big relief to achieve our main objective of qualifying from this group.”
Abdoulaye Sarr
“I think his goals would have been to win districts in outdoor, do well in regions, qualify for the state meet, see how that shook out.”
