Driver Quotes:

“Every one tells you all these stories that scare you … that they got these numbers on the turns because you don’t know where you are. And it’s true. You don’t know where you are. Comin’ into (turn) three you need to look at what’s going on coming out of four or else you’ll be in trouble.” – Ricky Gray

“She’s like the Daytona for Midgets. She’s pretty awesome. They said it has a little bit of a straightaway down the front but I haven’t found it yet. You gotta to know who you are racing with because one little bobble can cost you some time of a car or anything else.” – Brad Noffsinger

“It’s not like anything I had been to before. It’s kind of an egg-shaped ‘D’ the way I look at it. I’d heard how high-banked and fast it was and they weren’t lying. It’s kind of a harder track to pass on because it is so fast. I think even the slower guys are pretty quick here. You’ve gotta really be sharp to do any passing. Everybody just said they run it up against the fence so I figured we could handle that part of it.” – Jack Hewitt

“There’s probably only a hundred feet of straight straightaway down the front but the backstraight is pretty much just a big sweeping curve. If you don’t have respect for this race track, it’s gonna bite you.” – Greg Vernetti

“I mean everybody who was anybody was at Belleville, and they had their best cars ready to go there. It was a great race for me to win. I was on a tear there, running wide open and jumping the cushion and never lifting. I never stopped racing like that until the checkered flag flew.” – Jeff Gordon
