"I know that the NASCAR drivers have gotten very strong on the road courses,
so I don't think going to a road course becomes an advantage for me. But, it
should allow drivers like me, who have a road racing background, to be a bit
closer and have a better chance. I think it will be great to have a venue
where the driver plays a larger role and can influence the handling of the
IROC car with his style of braking and steering."

Ted Musgrave -- "Starting from the pole really is not any big deal because
with a road course you have so many corners and places to pass. Looking at
the line up of drivers we have, drivers like Scott Sharp and Papis, who have
a lot of road course experience which makes it tough. I will try to lead as
many laps as I can and go out and have fun.

"I have not driven a lot of road courses in my career except in Nextel Cup
and that was at Watkins Glenn and Infineon Raceway. I am looking to have a
lot of fun and being able to run the road course at Daytona at night is going
to be a fun and a new experience for me."

"The IROC Race at Daytona is going to be two different things for me, one,
it's a nighttime race on a road course, which I have never done, and second,
running the road course at Daytona which is another thing I have never done
in my racing career. I missed out on the 24 Hour Daytona race when I joined
Roush Racing. I was supposed to do a 24 hour Daytona Race with Mark Martin
but Jack decided not to. It's going to be cool to run the Daytona road course
under the lights."
