More Quotes from Jeff Simmons:
I was still at the track here on Friday night when I got a cell phone call from the team. I would be honored to race for Rahal-Letterman and represent Ethanol in the program that meant so much to Paul Dana. We haven't discussed a contract or anything, and I don't know if they are looking at other people.Jeff Simmons
Certainly, this is a difficult circumstance and not how I'd like this opportunity to come about. I wouldn't say we were close friends or anything like that, but it has had a deep and profound impact on me the way this has come about, and I want people to know that.
Jeff Simmons
We all know the business. I've certainly thought a lot about if I do get the ride, how it came about. This isn't the way I would want to get a ride. Paul Dana and I both came up through the ranks and had the same dream. It wouldn't be lost on me if I got an opportunity with something he started and built up.
Jeff Simmons
They asked for my contact info and were going to talk to the Ethanol people at that point. Bobby has gone over to China with his son, Graham. I've talked to some people at the team since then.
Jeff Simmons
I know this is a fantastic opportunity with a great team.
