How important is it to win the Brickyard 400?
“The Brickyard has become an important race. We really need to run well at Indy. This race a year ago, I ran well in my car. We tested there and were pretty good. But with this rules change, we’ll see what Indy brings us. It really pays good, so you need to run good there. Has the Evernham Motorsports program turned around and is a win far off? “We needed a good run last weekend, and the guys worked hard to get one. Everything worked good. The car drove good for the most part. That’s what we’ve got to shoot for each and every week. You never feel like you’ve got it turned around in this business, but if we can keep running like we did last week, you never know. We’ve just got to keep working through this stuff. Ray and all the guys have really worked hard, and if we can just keep working, we’ve got the team that can do it.” Bill Elliott By the Numbers • Bill Elliott has three top fives and five top 10s in only seven appearances at the Brickyard 400.
