NASCAR BGN: Driver quotes from Busch Series practice and qualifying

3 June 2000

JEFF PURVIS, NO. 4 PORTER CABLE PONTIAC GRAND PRIX: (ON THE TEAM'S STEADY OVERALL IMPROVEMENT) "We had a good car last week. I just got in trouble (crashed in qualifying). Now we've got Doug Richert doing the crew-chiefing and that's big. He's good. He's going to help me a lot. I know that."

DAVE BLANEY, NO. 20 AT&T PONTIAC GRAND PRIX: (ON RUNNING PRETTY CLOSE TO HIS PRACTICE TIME) "We stayed pretty close. We lost a half a tenth. I just got a little bit loose off of four actually, which I wasn't expecting. We had been plenty tight all day. I had to lift a little bit there for it and I'm sure that's what cost us that much. But I couldn't have gotten down in '(23.) 20s' like (Kevin) Harvick did. That was a pretty good lap by both Harvick and Casey (Atwood). But we're happy with that. Anywhere in the top 10 and we're going to be happy."
