#88 UPS driver Dale Jarrett on NASCAR's decision to postpone Sunday's race in New Hampshire:

"I am really glad NASCAR did the right thing," Jarrett said. "Todd (Parrott), Robert (Yates) and I all felt like we did not need to be out trying to entertain anyone this weekend -- and our sport is a form of entertainment. Out of respect for those who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks and the thousands of people in mourning throughout our country, I am proud that NASCAR made the right decision. This allows our NASCAR community to be at home with our families during this very difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the victims and their loved ones."
