TEAM CHEVY RACE NOTES AND QUOTES
JUNE 14, 2015
KURT BUSCH, NO. 41 HAAS AUTOMATION CHEVROLET SS – Race Winner
IT TAKES A TEAM TO GO TO VICTORY LANE. BUT, DOES RICK CARELLI, YOUR SPOTTER, GET THE BONUS AWARD TODAY FOR HOW HE HELPED YOU WORK THROUGH TRAFFIC?
“Absolutely. It’s amazing when you have team chemistry at the level we do. I grew-up watching Rick Carelli and Ron Hornaday, the legends of the Southwest Tour run; and to have Carelli as my spotter, I have so much respect for him. And he has so much wisdom to gain. And he’s a good mentor. He teaches me so many things. It’s a team combination all the way around. Tony Gibson (crew chief) led these guys through a back-up car. And the pit crew was there, giving their best. It’s an unbelievable feeling to know what we went through, paced ourselves, and found the lead toward the latter part of the race when the rain came in.
You know what’s more special about this? Winning in Chevrolet’s back yard. That’s what’s most important about winning in Michigan, so thanks to Chevrolet.”
IS THIS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF YOU GUYS, ON THIS NO. 41 TEAM, ALL OLD-SCHOOL RACERS, A GREAT EXAMPLE OF HOW YOU GUYS ARE REALLY SCRAPPERS?
“Yeah, you have to get down and dirty. You have to really roll-up your sleeves, get your elbows dirty, and put the work into it. And Tony Gibson makes these guys work a little extra hard. I always say thanks. I’m always there early with them. And it’s a great team chemistry feel. Thanks to Monster Energy, Chevrolet, Haas Automation and everybody at Stewart-Haas. This is a fantastic series to race in and it’s a pleasure to be able to drive into Victory Lane.”
