WHAT THEY’RE SAYING<\/p>\n

TREVOR SANBORN, Driver of the Race 101 No. 101 Pave-Tek\/SaveSpeed4TheTrack Chevrolet, On heading to Hickory Motor Speedway: \u201cI like that it’s a drivers’ track. It’s not like a Beech Ridge, where you can’t overdrive it there. Hickory, you can be up on the wheel and go.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are some tracks like that \u2013 Unity Raceway in Maine is like that. I love to race at placs like that. It reminds me of that. It’s rough. It’s tight on one end. It’s a driver’s track.\u201d<\/p>\n

On being the Race 101 house driver in 2012: \u201cIt’s great to go to the track and test at different tracks once a week. It’s awesome. You get paid to work on the car, and we’ve been preparing for Hickory for months,<\/p>\n

\u201cThere’s some pressure, but I don’t think (Race 101 owner and crew chief Tony Blanchard) doubts me at all… I think we have a really good car. I want to get the win for myself and for everyone involved, but I really want to get it for (Tony). He deserves the recognition, and Race 101 deserves it, too.\u201d<\/p>\n

TONY BLANCHARD, owner of the Race 101 No. 101 Pave-Tek\/SaveSpeed4TheTrack Chevrolet, On the importance of the Race 101 house car: \u201cThe last few years have been about helping young racers learn. We created the RACE 101 school, and I’m very proud of what we have accomplished.<\/p>\n

“It’s time to go and contend to win races again, and we plan on starting (this) weekend.”<\/p>\n
