     QUOTE:
     "If you look at my finishes (in Busch and Winston Cup) they don't merit a ride in Winston Cup. But if
     you look at why the finishes were where they were and you look at how well we've run and what we've done
     with research, it merits a very good ride. (But before Roush called), I was scared to death nobody would look
     past (the results)."
