Quotes about lapped (12 Quotes)


    Jack's a real good guy and he runs me clean and I run him clean. There was a lot of lapped traffic out there tonight. It seemed to always be in the way. But that's a part of racing. They pay their money just as much as everybody else.

    It was clear we had a winning car. Some of the lapped cars were being tough to pass. I put them down a lap early. Our car was so good, and our car was still really good (when he crashed).

    I had a pretty good car, ... I got a little bottled up in Turns 1 and 2 a few times, but I think everybody was getting up there and getting tight. If you hit it wrong it would wad you up a little bit. Then I got to where I could work the bottom in Turns 3 and 4 and I had two grooves to work when we got to lapped cars. I had a pretty good way to go then.

    I wanted that race to go down to the final lap. It was such a good battle that it's a shame that it ended the way it did. I saw a lapped rider down in the turn and just lost concentration for a split second. That corner was slick and I washed out my front wheel and I was on the ground before I knew it. It's a tough series and things like that are going to happen. Fortunately I didn't lose too much ground in the points and I'll go to San Francisco hoping to come back strong.

    The thing about Bristol is you can be really good but still caught up in a wreck. That's probably the main concern. Even if you're the leader, it's hard to miss wrecks sometimes because of all the lapped traffic. That's just Bristol. You can't take a break at any time. The moment you think you're doing good, it'll jump up and deal you a nasty blow.

    Mark came alongside me in lapped traffic and we just kept on racing him. He's as tough a competitor and as clean a competitor as you'll find and we won today, but just to race with Mark here in Atlanta is unbelievable.


    I just pretty much worked the bottom all night. It had some moisture down there. I started going into the middle of Turns 3 and 4 and the middle of Turns 1 and 2 to get some lapped cars, but other than that I just hung down low.

    With his 19-under-par performance at the Old Course, Woods lapped the field by eight strokes, 35 days after winning the U.S. Open by 15. In doing so, he achieved a career Grand Slam at age 24, two years younger than Jack Nicklaus was when he did it. Golf has gone strictly black-Thai, and it's no longer optional. Woods now holds the record for most strokes under par in the Masters, the U.S. Open and the British Open. Until three-putting the second green last Saturday, he had played 63 consecutive holes in major championship competition without making bogey. He's the best who ever played, ... and he's 24.

    In that first race Indy 1982 I lapped A. J Foyt . . . I lapped Gordon Johncock and I passed my Dad -- it was like I lost something. It was the day I knew I was one of them I couldn't look at them that way ever again.
