Announcers: Marc Fein, Larry McReynolds and Kyle Petty

#20 Tony Stewart and car owner Joe Gibbs joined the guys on set to discuss Stewart’s recent announcement that he will be a driver/owner next season

Gibbs on Stewart saying he wants to be like him: “You do not want to be like Joe. JD (Gibbs) said it best; in a year we are going to say ‘what do you think about this guy (Stewart)? He’s a pain in the rear.’”

Gibbs on the importance of people in winning in football or NASCAR: “You don’t win with trick plays in football, you don’t win with hoped up cars (in NASCAR), you win with people.”

Gibbs on an “agreement” he has with Stewart: “I do want to announce while we are here that we have reached an agreement with Tony on one thing; next year when he sees our cars coming he has agreed to pull over.”

NASCAR legend Richard Petty, celebrating his 50th year in the sport this week, joined the guys on set.

McReynolds on Richard Petty’s legendary relationship with the fans: “You have been a role model for athletes, not just NASCAR drivers, but athletes on how to treat fans.”

Kyle Petty on the impact of the 150 point driver and owner penalties on #1 Martin Truex Jr.’s team and its impact on them making the Chase: “It knocks the wind out of their sails. Here’s a team knocking on the door to get into the Chase and all of a sudden – BAM – your 150 points back, your crew chief and everybody are going home…talk about momentum, it knocks it the other way.”

This week’s installment of Pride of NASCAR featured Hall of Famer and Daytona 500 winner Buddy Baker

Baker on his father, two-time NASCAR National Champion Buck Baker, using him as a decoy while bootlegging when he was a child: “I had a little sailor suit. They’d put me in the back on top of the booze and he’d say ‘Wave, boy.’ Police would drive up, I’d wave at them with that little sailor hat on, they’d wave back and he’d turn and say ‘Good job, now sit down.’”

NASCAR Sprint Cup Series points leader Kyle Busch joined the guys on set

Busch on his pursuit of a Sprint Cup championship while still running in the Nationwide and Craftsman Truck Series: “The focus needs to be on the Cup side and everything there. We’re going to run some races and people are going to think I’m crazy and that I need a week off, but I’m going to run the Craftsman Truck Series next weekend in Kentucky. I’m sure all the truck competitors are now loving me for that one, but we’re going to have some fun.”

Truex Jr. interviewed by pit reporter Marty Snider, on the feasibility of him still making the Chase: It’s not impossible. We can do it, but we have to have eight great races. There can’t be any problems, there can’t be any DNFs, we can’t be bad in any of them. We have to be good every week.”

Petty on Kyle Busch leading another race: “Kyle Busch has to be the loneliest NASCAR driver out here. He’s led so many laps he never sees anybody in front of him for two-thirds of the race, he just runs on the same racetrack…he’s the Maytag guy.”

Petty on his father Richard Petty not taking advantage of having NASCAR President Mike Helton in his car as part of NASCAR’s pre-race festivities: “How cool was it to see Richard Petty driving (NASCAR President) Mike Helton around the racetrack this morning? Ask him something, get us a favor while you’ve got him out there.”

Petty on a beauty shot of Chicagoland Speedway’s new lights with the sunset in the background: “This is more like Larry Mac (McReynolds) stuff, he’s the guy who used to tape the Weather Channel.”

Weber following a “magic trick” in which Larry McReynolds cut pre-race host Marc Fein in half: “Now he can work two assignments on the same weekend.”

Dallenbach on Kyle Busch, who led a record number of laps at Chicagoland: “He is just making everybody look bad right now.”

Petty on Busch’s attitude: “He knows there’s a day when this is going to come to an end, and he is having fun doing it, that’s the main thing.”

Weber on Kyle Busch looking to overtake #48 Jimmie Johnson with two laps to go: “Kyle Busch right on his bumper.”

Petty: “I would say IN Johnson’s bumper.”

Kyle Busch wins his seventh race of the season in the Sprint Cup Series

Kyle Busch thanking his crew for the victory: “I’ve got to thank these guys, I gave up on myself. I’ve seen Jimmie Johnson do that a few times before. This is a great season. Can you believe this?”
