QUOTES:
 
- "I've never been to Nazareth before," commented Sauter. "As a matter of
fact, I haven't been to a lot of the tracks we will be at in the next ten
weeks, but this GM Goodwrench Service Plus team has and that gives me a lot
of confidence."
 
 - "I understand Nazareth Speedway is a flat, one-mile race track," said
Sauter. "So far this year, we've done pretty good at the tracks that are
shaped like that."
 
 - "It is incredible how close this points battle is getting," remarked
Sauter. "We are ninth in the points, but only sixty-six points out of third.
We are looking for consistency more than wins, but we'll take all the wins
we can get."
