NASCAR WCUP: Jeremy Mayfield Post Race Notes, Primestar 500

29 March 1999

JEREMY MAYFIELD -12- Mobil 1 Taurus --

"We never give up. Our setup at the start of the race was off a little bit and just kept working on it and working on it. We couldn't find what we needed and then a little after halfway we started figuring out what we wanted and at the end, man, it was perfect. I wish I could have started that way."

THIS IS THE SECOND STRAIGHT SOLID RUN. ARE THINGS COMING TOGETHER?

"Oh yeah, they've been together. We just need to have a little luck like we had today, keep working hard and this team is gonna be up front week-in and week-out."

WAS THERE A CERTAIN POINT IN THE RACE WHERE YOU MADE A CRUCIAL PIT DECISION TO GAIN TRACK POSITION?

"Yeah, we put two (tires) on one time to get up there and that kind of got us going, but the car just wasn't fast enough at the beginning to stay up there. We just kept working on it and the better the car got the more track position we gained."
