Drag race to the start won by Willy T. Ribbs
in the '99 car. I thought Pruett with
that big Mustang would have the horse power
to get to turn one in first. Roush said to his pilot, "Make sure Ribbs doesn't win
that race up in Portland." Jack Roush says,
"No bones about it, Scott is the best driver
I've ever had." Willy takes that
as a personal insult. Scott is here to put
the pressure on the Toyota. We are willing to see his car
not finish if we have to in order to keep him under
the maximum amount of pressure. Roush says, in the last fuel stop, "Go after Willy, you know,
he was in the lead." Scott Pruett,
who is one or two laps down right behind Willy T. Ribbs. Pruett was behind me. Ran into the back of me,
spun me out
