“IT WAS OFFICIAL A WEEK AGO BUT TONIGHT YOU GUYS CAN REALLY START THE CELEBRATION.
“No its not. Kevin and DeLana have been giving us truck all year. To win the owner’s you’ve got to do that. It’s everything. You can’t just win the driver’s it takes a whole team. These guys do it all and like I said when Kyle (Busch) comes over here and runs he just steps up the program and makes us run that much harder. A lot of sponsors to thank. Definitely have to thank Longhorn tonight and Chevrolet. All the fans who stick it out with these guys. We’ve got Georgia Boots, VFW, I’m so sick I’m out of breath. I didn’t even want to run the last 10 laps. Turtle Wax, Wylie-X and just a lot of people have been helping me out especially Indian Motorcycles.”
HAVE YOU GOTTEN THE GRAVITY OF WHAT IT MEANS TO HAVE A FOURTH CHAMPIONSHIP IN NASCAR, IT’S QUITE A FEAT?
“Well I appreciate that. If it wasn’t for getting this owners too it wouldn’t have been that good but to come here and win them both. You don’t think about that, to come down here and win four championships you don’t think about the owners. Busch ran us hard and we had to go out there and try to beat him. Good night for KHI all the way around.”
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR 4TH NASCAR CAMPING WORLD TRUCK SERIES CHAMPIONSHIP:
“Thank you. Well first of all I have to thank Camping World for sponsoring this great series that NASCAR’s got. But Kevin and Delana have just given me a chance to drive their rocketships. Got to thank Longhorn, VFW, Georgia Boots, Turtle Wax……everybody. It just takes everybody including Rheem and it just takes everybody. Its just so fun to come out here and do this.
“Being as sick as I was I didn’t even want to drive the truck and was hoping Kevin would switch the numbers but it worked out for the best and we are going to take this one and go on.”
15 – 20 YEARS AGO YOU WERE SLUGGING IT OUT BUILDING RACE CARS FOR A LIVING, UNTIL A CALL FROM DALE EARNHARDT. DID YOU EVER THINK YOU WOULD BE HERE MULTIPLE TIMES AS YOU HAVE?
“Its your dream. And I lost my father a year ago and he gave me a token deal before he passed away he said he has left a lot of room for three or four more championships. And he said don’t quit until you fill that up and as long as Kevin and Delana will have me I will keep putting engravements on that and grandma I hope you are doing better we will see you here in a couple of days. Bill and all the family and grandkids back at home we will be home soon.”
TALK ABOUT THE RACE TRUCKS YOU HAVE HAD, AND RICK REN AS THE CREW CHIEF, AND THE JOB THAT HE AND EVERYONE HAS DONE.
“It just shows you what Kevin and Delana have done, letting these guys build new trucks and its not because of……………….Kevin just keeps selling them and they just keep building new trucks week in and week out. Kevin drove a brand new truck tonight and one last week and those are my trucks for next year so that is pretty cool.
“It was so fun and I don’t even know how to explain it. Mark Smith thank you for your motors and what you do for us. Congratulations on that championship for him to. PME motors – they have been with us all year and I really got to thank them because they go through thick and thin and give us some great horsepower. So Mark’s happy and thank you very much.”
