Here’s some interesting quotes from Jeff Gordon after winning at Pocono (the race was called after 106 laps of a 200 lap race due to rain) …
When it’s your time, it’s your time. Whatever we’re doing, we’re doing something right.
Sometimes stupid works, I guess. (This one is from Gordon’s crew chief, Steve Letarte)
I have never appreciated things in life and my good fortune more than I am right now. When you have that chemistry and positive energy surrounding you, I think good things happen. I don’t think things happen because you’re lucky, you put yourself in position to make things happen.
It felt sort of bizarre walking to victory lane. On one side I feel guilty for even taking this win. But on the other side, Steve made a great call. He had in his mind we were going to stay out there and then come in early. Everybody else had the opportunity to make the same call.
