Burndown a Classic Learning Lesson
July 18, 2005
Growing up, whenever I was getting a little too big for my britches my dad would always put me back in my place. I would tell him he was too old or too slow and he would agree. At the same time, he would remind me that, “old age and treachery will overcome youth and skill every time”. How true that was then and is true today. That is exactly what happened to Dave Connolly when he was taught a lesson from the Professor himself, Warren Johnson, in Denver.

New Hampshire Chevy and Dodge Notes & Quotes
July 17, 2005
TONY STEWART- RACE WINNER: “Did you hear them when I got out? As soon as my feet hit the ground they went crazy because they knew what was coming. The cool thing was that it didn’t matter whether they had Jeff Gordon hats on or Rusty Wallace hats or Dale Jr. hats - they were all cheering. I think they know I’m doing it for them. I’m not climbing up there to photographers or the race team. There were a couple of scared flagmen up there the first time I climbed up there. They didn’t know why I was climbing up there. They thought I was going to throw them off I guess. They were a little calmer this time when I got up there. It didn’t matter whether they liked me or hated me, they were still cheering. That was my time to spend with those fans. If every time I get out of the car they get that excited, I don’t care how tall that fence is. I’m probably going to fall and bust my butt before it’s all over with but I’ll keep trying. I’ll keep trying to get over the top of them. I’m definitely going to get a trainer though. That liked to kill me. I thought I was going to die if I tried to climb. They said I could go down the steps and through the hole in the fence. I said thank you very much.”
