Theres a good chance that Jeff Gordon could tie your father in victories this week. What would that mean to you if that happened?
Thats a pretty good accomplishment for anybody. Id have to shake Jeffs hand, because any time you tie my daddy in anything, its something to be proud of.
The fan base for you and Jeff is kind of like the Yankees and Red Sox. How do you think the fans will react?
I really dont know.
Youve run against Jeff Gordon your entire career. How do you compare (Jeff and your dad) as race car drivers?
Well, dad was really aggressive, and Jeff wasnt very aggressive. It seems like hes getting more aggressive as hes getting older. Jeff is really, really smooth, where dad was sort of barbaric with the race car. They were very different in their driving styles.
What did your dad think of Jeff Gordon?
They had a great respect for each other, and had a few business deals together. They worked together off the race track. They had a great relationship. They were really good friends actually.
Do you think he would be pleased to see Jeff move in on his win mark right now?
Yeah, sure he would, but it still aint first. Yall act like its the big 200. How many did Dad have, 71 wins? Something like that?
Seventy-six wins.
Seventy-six. Yeah, well, when you look at the success Jeff has had, its really no surprise.
