Famous quotes by Kirk Shelmerdine:

"I had it figured out who needed to finish where, and I got it wrong. I lost a car somewhere and figured I was out of it. I was feeling about as down as you could feel until the NASCAR guys came to the window."

"There were 58 cards here, so I guess our odds were one-in-58. But really, it was a lot taller."

"Without a big corporate deal it was hard to pull off. People jumped in and helped."

"We couldn't keep up with the other cars, but I guess we beat all the wrecked ones."

"There were 58 cars here, so I guess we had one-in-58 odds, but really it was a lot taller than that. Really, you don't have a prayer. ... A combination of everything did it for us."

"This is one of the big tracks every little boy dreams about racing cars on. I've had opportunities to come here and try to qualify several years in a row now, and it really feels good to be able to finally pull it off."

"I'm hoping we can get one of the Busch teams to pit us on Sunday. If some sponsors come out of the woodwork, maybe we can buy some new tires, too. That'd be a nice luxury."

"I've sacrificed an awful lot and put up with a lot to be here. Somewhere there's a not very long list of men who've raced in this race. To add my name here means a lot. I'm really not sure that's for sale."

"This is one of those tracks that every little boy dreams about racing cars on. It really feels good to finally be able to pull it off."

"I was prepared for another letdown. We're going to race like hell [Sunday]. I had prepared myself to load up. This is kind of a surprise. If I win it, I am going to retire."
