Quotes from the NASCAR Las Vegas 400
Monday, March 2, 1998 | 6:07 a.m.
"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous. It ain't even close. The Fords have so much more downforce coming out of the corners, it ain't even close."
-- Ward Burton, on the Ford's advantage
"There was no patience, I drove as hard as I could every lap."
-- Johnny Benson, on his race strategy
"We were just loose, loose, loose all day long."
-- Jeff Gordon, on his 17th-place finish
"I'd give it a 10. It's a nice facility (and) there was three- and four-wide racing."
-- Jeremy Mayfield, on Las Vegas Motor Speedway
"The Fords could drive in three cars deeper, turn them and mash the gas two car lengths quicker, it's over. I knew. I saw it coming. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to see it."
-- Sterling Marlin, on the Ford's advantage
"There at the beginning, we were loose. We made some adjustments ... but that next to last pit stop killed us. We had a decent car, we just needed one more caution, but time ran out."
-- Bill Elliott, on his ninth-place finish
"Even when we were really, really good and thought we had all the right stuff, the Fords would just drive off from us. I drove into turn three and got up into the marbles and hit the fence. It was just a case of driver error."
-- Ernie Irvan, on his 30th-place finish
