DID YOU GET ANGRY THAT YOU HAD BEEN IN A RACE WITH FIKE? “I have been in a race with him and I know for a fact that he’s not the only one. There’s another driver that is suspended that I can almost guarantee you was in a race car while he was under the influence and that pisses me off. That is not fair to the 95 percent of this garage and that’s the bad part about it is 95 percent of this garage I can guarantee you is clean, but there’s a five percent chance - it’s just like the safety thing back in 2001 the reason that we reacted to it, we weren’t proactive until that situation happened.
“There’s no reason not to be proactive in the state of the world of sports, there’s no reason not to be proactive in the drug situation and that to me is irresponsible more than it is anything. I’m sure I’ll be blasted from somebody for saying what I feel but I don’t want to be on the race track with people like that.”

YOU SAID NASCAR LAUGHED AT YOUR OR JUST IGNORED YOU? “They were more mad that I spoke my opinion about it, then they were about trying to listen to what I had to say. I’ve had several situations like that lately where they just kind of listen to what you want to say and that’s the end of it. There’s not a whole lot that they want to listen to for some reason. We’re not all against them, we all have the same goal in mind here to take this forward. I’m just really frustrated about the whole deal just for the fact that I know that 95 percent of the garage is clean and there’s a lot of people I don’t know. Those are the ones - you just need to know what you’re racing against.”
