Quotes from Glenn Allen, 1996 Raybestos Rookie of The Year:

"Bristol presents quite a challenge with its high speeds, high banks, and 
tight quarter racing. Tempers always seem to flare at Bristol, you just hope 
no one's temper gets the best of them and causes you to wreck. This is a race 
track where you have to give and take, the ones that are most successful in
doing this end up with good runs.

"I feel like I have had 3 decent runs at Bristol in the past. We have always 
been close to being a top ten car, maybe this will be the race we breakthrough
with a top-ten finish in Bristol. With a solid qualifying effort and some
racing luck, you will see us with a solid finish I believe.

"I like the night races, it's great for television, the fans love it, and we 
get to enjoy the rest of the weekend. It sure would be nice to have a top-ten
finish and spend all day Saturday and Sunday on Lake Norman, knowing what had
just been accomplished."
