25 March 2000

NOTES AND QUOTES;  CHEEZ-IT 250;  MARCH 25;  PAGE 1

JEFF PURVIS, NO. 4 PORTER CABLE PONTIAC GRAND PRIX (14th):
 (ON BEING INVOLVED IN A LATE RACE INCIDENT)  "I never did see what
happened.  I looked up and they were all turned sideways.  I don't really
know.  My car was just too tight all day.  I couldn't turn in the middle of
the corner.  I couldn't get it fixed and that's what ends up happening to
you.  I thought we were going to be OK.  I just couldn't get it to turn
through the middle."

JASON LEFFLER, NO. 18 MBNA PONTIAC GRAND PRIX (25th):
 (ON BEING INVOLVED IN AN EARLY RACE INCIDENT)  "It was a long day.  But
still though, with the car all beat up and stuff, I still learned a lot.  I
didn't have the pressure of worrying about positions, so I was able to move
around and try some different things.  But I wish it had been a lot better.
I feel for MBNA and Joe Gibbs Racing.  I guess we'll just go to Texas and
see what we've got there."
