Post Race
Quotes Courtesty of Pontiac
Johnny Benson:
(ON WINNING AFTER 226 STARTS)
"It's been a while. We had some opportunities my rookie year
to win some races with Bahari Racing and with Jack Roush and
with the '10' team with James Ince. We've been so close. We
just haven't been able to pull it off at the end and today
we were able to. We've had a lot of close runs, but the
first place one is the one that matters. I'm real happy
about it today."
(ON STARTING 26TH AND BEATING MARK MARTIN AT THE END)
"I think all the guys that started this race are great
racers. It was good to come from 26th. I would have like to
have done it from the front or from the back. It doesn't
matter, as long as we end up in victory lane. That's what we
all thrive in
trying to do. But, it was a great run. We had some good pit
stops. We've had a couple that weren't. James just kept
making changes to the car. It's funny because I always laugh
at him. He always says, 'I promise you, I'll get it better,'
and he did. He was right on the money right there at the
end. He did. He always comes through with what he says he is
going to do. That's why I'm proud to drive with these
Valvoline Pontiac guys at the '10' car."
(DID YOU THINK YOU'D BE CLOSE ON FUEL THERE AT THE END?)
"No, James said about a lap before it went green, he says,
'It's within a half a lap. I just don't know what side of
the start-finish line it's going to be on. We'll just have
to deal with it.' But, I knew that the way he was
calculating it was based off of what we were doing earlier.
The track gets so slow at the end, as many laps as we had to
run - I knew gas mileage was going to come to us at the end,
but not at the beginning. He said, 'Run it hard, and if we
get a caution we won't have to worry about it, but just keep
getting it.' At the last deal he said, 'Alright, get up
there. You see what you've got. You see who you've got to
pass. Go up there and pass them.' I get in the lead and I
look in the mirror and I thought, 'Well, I've got about five
car lengths.' Then, he says, 'Alright, you've got to do me
one more favor. Save some gas.' It's like, 'Man, that's
going to be tough.' I ran out trying to get back to the pit,
but it doesn't matter at that point in time."
(DOES COMING SO CLOSE AT MARTINSVILLE TWO WEEKS AGO MAKE
THIS ONE A LOT SWEETER?)
"It does. Whether it be Martinsville or whether it be New
Hampshire or any of the other places that we've finished
second, we've had opportunities to win a race and that is
what it takes. Both James and myself really hate finishing
second. We've had a lot of seconds. At Martinsville - yeah,
maybe I could have won one if I had wrecked the guy. But, I
wasn't going to do that and I know James was mad at me for
it. I know he would have, but it makes it feel so much
better today, lthough it may have been two wins instead of
just one. But, I think we can all look and say, 'Hey, we won
this race. We didn't have to wreck anybody.' As much as we
wanted to win Martinsville, as much as we wanted to win
Loudon - but it happened today during the Pop Secret 400, so
we're real happy with that."
(DID YOU THINK YOU WOULD WIN THIS QUICKLY AFTER
MARTINSVILLE?)
"Absolutely. After I came back from being hurt, James was
like, 'We're going to get four of these races before the end
of the year. We're working and the guys are working
extremely hard.' It's tough knowing that we're working on as
much for 2003 as we can possibly do.
"We came close to it at Loudon. We came close to it at
Martinsville and then today, we were able to pull one off
and we've still got two to go. He was pretty good about his
thoughts. He knew what cars we had coming up. He knows that
people that we have working on this race team and he knows
their attitude and he knows that both of us want to win so
bad. I knew it was going to come and if it wasn't here
today, I figured it would be Phoenix. We go into the race
every week knowing that we can run in the top five with an
outside shot of winning the race. Today he told me the
second to last pit stop, he says, 'I'm telling you, you're
going to win this thing. You just keep working hard.' That's
what we were able to do."
(DID YOU FEEL A LOT OF PRESSURE AT THE END FROM MARK?)
"I wouldn't say I was nervous, but you've always got that
concern that someone is going to come and beat you after you
took the lead. In one aspect, I'm glad it was Mark Martin
behind me because I know Mark. I've raced with him a lot of
years. I've won races and was fortunate enough to win some
championships, so he is not going to rattle you too bad.
But, I knew where he was fast. I knew where he was running.
I knew where I was good. There were a couple of areas where
I thought he was better than me and there were a couple of
areas where I felt that I was better than him. I was just
trying to make sure that when it came time to get to [the
finish] line that I was on that end of the deal. He was good
through one and two on the bottom, but I felt I was, but I
couldn't run the bottom in three and four. I knew the longer
he ran down there - and he spent the whole
time down there - that it was going to be tough for him
because it is very hard. I spent a lot of time trying to
pass guys on the bottom on old tires and it was very hard to
do, so I didn't want him to get around the outside of me. I
knew he wasn't running the outside in one and two. I knew
where he was good. I felt that I knew where I was good. At
times, he was right there. But there again, Mark is a good
clean racer and I know he doesn't get in the corner too
hard. I was able to take advantage of myself not getting in
the corner too hard, too. But, still - to have Mark Martin
behind you - that is going to be a lot of pressure. But,
anybody behind me at that point in time would have been
pressure."
JAMES INCE, CREW CHIEF, NO. 10 VALVOLINE PONTIAC GRAND
PRIX:
(DID YOU SEE A BIG CHANGE TODAY IN JOHNNY, AS FAR AS HIS
AGGRESSIVENESS?)
"No, not really. Johnny is a nice guy. It's as simple as
that. Johnny didn't want to win a race the way that he could
have won a race at Martinsville that's not something I worry
about. We've had Johnny in a race car for nine days straight
with the exception of Monday between testing and running
Atlanta last week and I knew that Johnny wants to win just
as bad as we do.
"We joke in our truck that I wear the black hat and he wears
the white hat and I would have wrecked a guy to win a race,
and I'll still stand by that today. But, when it comes down
to the end of the race, I had every confidence in the world.
If I didn't think Johnny was the guy to hand these race cars
to I wouldn't be working with him. In 2000, when we got the
opportunity to work together, I knew that we had great
things ahead of us. That's the biggest thing that keeps this
race team going all the time. I believe in his abilities 100
percent. There are going to be days we run second and there
are going to be days we run 30th. There are going to be days
he's mad at me and days I'm mad at him. But at the end of
the day, we're going to walk out of these places together
with a smile on our faces, knowing that everybody involved
and everybody that we've surrounded ourselves with has given
100 percent effort and everything they had. It still feels
good winning today. I still would have done things different
at Martinsville, but we're not going to worry about that
today. We're going to take our trophies and go home."
BENSON:
(HOW HAVE YOU MAINTAINED YOUR COMPOSURE BETWEEN YOUR BUSCH
TITLE IN '95 AND TODAY?)
"I think I can go back and look - there are only three
people I've run for in Winston Cup and I can show you a lot
of races where we ran extremely well and were close. My
rookie year we almost won at Richmond, almost won the
Brickyard. Those were races where we were competitive and
right there. We ended up 11th in points my second year.
Going into Roush's, we thought the same thing. We thought
things were going to be good. We almost won this race here
with Jack, but we had an engine failure there about
two-thirds of the way through or even at the end there, so
we didn't have the run that we wanted. We had other runs
that we run right there in the top five with opportunities
to win, so you just keep thinking that eventually one of
these is going to come. Of course, when I got hooked up with
the '10' car and James Ince and all those guys - I'll tell
you, there were a lot of people that questioned that I was
going to do that. But, just walking through the shop,
looking at what they've got, looking at the attitudes
they've got, looking at James' plan of what he felt was
going to be great, I knew that we were going to be OK. I
hate that it has taken this long to win a race, but we've
been there. We've had some seconds. We've been right there -
almost won the Daytona 500. There were a lot of times where
we were close, so I'm not going to feel bad about any of the
bad runs that we've run and I feel good about all the good
runs that we've run.
"Keeping your composure is hard, maybe, a lot of times, but
it's not all that bad knowing that you've got a great group
of guys with you."
(DO YOU THINK YOU GOT A LITTLE CARRIED AWAY WITH YOUR
VICTORY CELEBRATION IN THE GRASS?)
"I looked in there and I think I only got about one or two
yards worth of grass. I was hoping for about five to 10.
But, hey - whatever. I could almost tell you what we wanted
to do, but we didn't do it because I figured we were going
to race this car again."
JOHNNY BENSON, NO. 10 VALVOLINE PONTIAC GRAND PRIX:
(WHAT WERE YOU GOING TO DO?)
"I can't tell you. You're going to have to wait and see."
INCE:
(HOW DOES THIS WIN CHANGE YOUR JOB?)
"I don't know that it necessarily changes my job. When we
approach everything we do we approach it 100 percent, 100
percent of the time. There is some satisfaction. There has
been eight years of me trying. There has been several years
of Johnny trying. The only thing that I really think helps
me is knowing that Johnny and I made a commitment to each
other. We were fortunate enough that Valvoline came along,
and Jay Frye and Nelson Bowers and all the guys -- the
ownership groups came along - and allowed us to do our race
team the way that we wanted to do it. There is satisfaction
in that. There is satisfaction for me now knowing that we
did kind of do it our way and it's kind of worked out for us
once and hopefully that will carry over and do it several
more times for us.
"I've got to be to work at eight o'clock in the morning just
like I'd have had to if we had won or not, so I can't say
that it has changed our job. It's just that there is some
definite satisfaction there. There is definite satisfaction
in being able to do it with the people you wanted to do it
with. Winston Cup racing is a tough sport. There is no doubt
about it. To be in a position to where you've got two guys
sitting here that want to work together - we believe in each
other - and to be able to go achieve things together, well,
that means a whole lot. Hopefully, that just means for us
that we get to do it longer together."
(WHAT DID YOU DO TO MAKE THE CAR SO MUCH BETTER AS THE DAY
WENT ON?)
"I think for me, handling the car, the biggest problem we
had there is that I don't know how to make a car go fast in
a hurry. Our car are notoriously fast 60, 70 laps into a run
and I'll go back and say that Mark Martin and Steve Hmiel
taught me a lot of that. But, Johnny communicates extremely
well. It's real easy to work on his race car. There is a lot
of trust here. He turned me loose with his car today to do
whatever I wanted to do with it and I did it. He
communicated well all day and we just kept adjusting. One of
the things that I think is our strongest suit, that we have
together, is that he can finish my sentences for me and I
can finish them for him. When you're able to do that it
makes it easier to adjust your car as the day goes on."
BENSON:
(WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO YOU THAT YOUR FIRST VICTORY CAME AT
'THE ROCK?')
"I'm glad it was. We're happy with that. Obviously, I'd have
taken it anywhere. It doesn't matter where it was at. But,
the one thing that was neat about it is that this is where I
won the Busch championship in '95, so I think that that part
is pretty cool. Although, like I say, I would have taken any
win before that up until this point. I don't care where it
is. But, it's kind of neat to have it here - the same place
that we won the championship for the Busch."
BENSON:
(WHEN DID YOU KNOW YOU HAD IT WON AND WHAT WERE YOUR
THOUGHTS?)
"You see that guy that hangs out on that box (the flagstand)
right there? When he was waving that '76' sign with the
checkers on it - that's when I figured we were going to win
it because it was tough. I knew Mark was coming. I knew he
was there and I knew he was going to race hard. All it took
was - man, I could have run out of gas, I could have cut a
tire, I could have spun, I could have done a number of
different things that possibly could have happened. But, we
were fortunate that that didn't happen. Mark was right there
putting a lot of pressure on us and I felt good when I came
across that line seeing that
checkered flag and not hearing the spotter up top going, 'He
is inside,' so it's good that I didn't hear that."
(HOW MUCH HELP DID YOU GET FROM YOUR SPOTTER?)
"Brian Dantine is our spotter and he does a tremendous job.
He helps me out with traffic, but then when we get to the
racing part he doesn't say a whole lot. He knows what I like
to hear and not to hear. He is going to just give you the
informationthat I need. At times he doesn't feel I need it,
he is not going to say anything. We were both running the
bottom in one and two. I was running the high part of three
and four and Mark was running the bottom. He never mentioned
it. I knew that that was going on, but he knew that I knew.
But, that's where I needed to run. I couldn't run the
bottom. But, I knew it was awfully tough on Mark's tires,
running the bottom, because I just had seen it during the
day. I was perfectly happy with him, if he wanted to get
underneath me. But, I wouldn't have been happy if he had
gotten on the outside of me, just because of running off the
corner. When you're the guy on the outside, he is the one
that has got to clear you and you're going to do everything
you can. You get a good run off these corners up top. I
wasn't really worried about running the top through one and
two, but I was worried about running the bottom through
three and four, so I took my chances running the bottom
through one and two and the top through three and four."
(EVERYONE SAYS YOU'RE A NICE GUY - IS THAT THE WAY IT IS?)
"That's just the way I am. If I had been a bad guy and won
20 races, I'd be happy with that. But, I'm not that guy. I
just am what I am and that's just the way it is. I'm fairly
easy to get along with - not all the times - but, the
majority of the time - at least we hope to think so. The
biggest thing is having a lot of great guys around you.
That's what we have with the '10' car is a bunch of great
guys that want to race, want to win races. There are only
three guys on our team that have won a Cup race and that's
what makes it feel so good to win this race today - for the
guys. We won this thing together. It wasn't me. It wasn't
James Ince. It was a whole group. James is the one that
orchestrates it all, but it's a whole group of good guys and
I'm just glad that we finally won one."
INCE:
(HOW ARE YOU ABLE TO KEEP YOUR PROGRAM TOGETHER WHILE YOU
WORK ON 2003?)
"It's a situation that goes back to being fortunate enough
to surround ourselves with great people."
INCE:
"Not only do we have help from our race team, we have help
from the MB2 team with the '36' guys and we work extremely
hard. It' just a situation that one of the things I leaned a
long time ago was that you surround yourself with good
people, let them do their job and they'll help you out.
We've got a whole group of guys down there that you can
depend on. You can hand them something to go do and they go
handle it for you, and in the meantime, I can go work on
2003 cars. By any means, we're not going to let up on this
year. We still want to achieve all we can this year. But, we
also have every intention of winning the Daytona 500 next
year. It just goes back to having a great group of guys
around you."
(HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH JOHNNY BEING A 'NICE GUY?')
"In 2000 when Johnny came and drove our race cars and we
decided that this is what we wanted to go do, I gave him a
choice then. I told him, at the end of the day, he could
decide who he wanted to fight at the gas pumps - me or them.
We've kind of operated that way ever since. Martinsville is
a good example of --- yeah, I was upset because I wanted to
win bad - no worse than Johnny Benson wanted to win. That's
just not the way Johnny is. When he says that he is what he
is, what you see is what you get. There is no doubt about
it. But, in the same token, two weeks later the guy won the
race the way he wanted to win the race. You've got to
balance your emotions in this sport. This is a tough
business. We've been through a lot this year. We've been
through a lot together the last couple years. When it comes
down to the end of the race, that is a whole lot easier. The
hardest part for me was probably sitting in hospital rooms
this year, more so than actually coming to the racetrack
because we're more than just a driver and crew chief
combination. We're friends and everybody on this race team
worries about each other. It's a balancing act. It goes back
to, I believe in him 100 percent. I knew he'd make it up to
me one way or the other. We've still got two races left this
year."
BENSON:
(WITH ALL THE ADVERSITY THIS TEAM HAS FACED OVER THE PAST
THREE SEASONS, YOU NEVER FOLDED - IS THIS A STUBBORN GROUP?)
"We did have one point in time where we did have stuff
loaded in the car and we weren't going to the racetrack. It
was fortunate that we got a phone call not too long after
that that MB2 was thinking about buying the team and 'do
what you've got to do to get to the racetrack.' You can call
it stubborn or whatever you want to call it. Yeah, we're
probably stubborn and we may be stupid. At other times, you
look at this race team and know that they're passionate at
what they do. We wanted to do that as a group. A lot of
times they (the crew members) asked us about that - 'what
are you guys doing, where are you going, are you closing the
doors, are you guys leaving? I said, 'No, we're not
leaving.' They said, 'As long as you're not leaving, then
we're staying here.' They said, 'They're going to have to
throw us out of that building.'
BENSON:
"It was close. We had it to that point in time. But, that's
good. That makes a driver confident that you've got that
good a group of guys behind you. That makes James feel good
that he's got a good group of guys underneath him, so we can
all try to get the job done."
(DID YOU EVER WONDER IF YOU WOULD EVER WIN?)
"No, I haven't doubted that, but I haven't doubted these
guys either. If it ever got to that point in time, I'll tell
you what - I'm going to go find something else to do and let
somebody sit in that car that can get it done because this
group of guys deserve to go win and to win races. I feel I
can do that. I hate that it took as long as it did, but I
finally getting you guys off my hinds about asking about
when we're going to win one. Now, you aren't going to all
start with, 'When are you going to win a second one? When
are you going to win again?' We'll do the best we can to win
one and we're going to win it in the same fashion we did
today."
INCE:
(WAS IT SPECIAL TO BEAT ROUSH RACING TODAY?) "I think it
means a whole lot for us on a personal basis to be able to
go do that. I know on a company basis it means a whole lot
that the Valvoline Pontiac today beat the guy that used to
drive their race car. That means a whole lot to us that
Valvoline had the faith to put us in a situation to be able
to go do that. But, I'll also tell you about the third guy I
saw in victory lane today was Jack Roush and there is no
doubt that he is a class act. If it wasn't for him, I know
personally that I wouldn't be a Winston Cup crew chief. He
took a chance once upon a time and made a 24-year old kid a
crew chief and eight years later - finally - I've won a
Winston Cup race. There is some satisfaction there, but it
is more like beating your brother for me than it is anybody
else. It doesn't matter who is on the racetrack. We want to
beat them. If my mother was out there, we'd put her in the
fence to win and it's that simple. But, there is definitely
some satisfaction there."
BENSON:
(ON ROUSH) "Jack gave me an opportunity to go race their
race cars and it's a great organization. I'm glad that that
happened. Unfortunately, it wasn't the right thing for me
and him. We struggled, we had some problems and at that
point in time, I think he knew what was best. I knew what
was best. I'm the one that made the move, not Jack Roush. He
didn't throw us out the door. At that point in time, I felt
like they were doing everything they can for all their race
teams, but I didn't think it was going to work for us.
That's when I chose to go do something different. It's
always funny because - then, to take James, who was a crew
chief up there, too, and then put this deal together. It's
very gratifying that we won a race. Like I say, Jack does a
tremendous amount for NASCAR racing and other racing around
the country, so it was neat to be a part of it. But, it's
also very neat to be able to beat their guys."
