WHAT THEY'RE SAYING


TREVOR SANBORN, Driver of the Race 101 No. 101 Pave-Tek/SaveSpeed4TheTrack Chevrolet, On heading to Hickory Motor Speedway: “I 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.

“There are some tracks like that – 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.”


On being the Race 101 house driver in 2012: “It'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,

“There'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.”

TONY BLANCHARD, owner of the Race 101 No. 101 Pave-Tek/SaveSpeed4TheTrack Chevrolet, On the importance of the Race 101 house car: “The 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.

"It's time to go and contend to win races again, and we plan on starting (this) weekend."
