Quotes from Mike McLaughlin, 1997 Busch Series Most Popular Driver: 
|
"This weekend's race in Dover brings back a lot of special memories for me. I won my first Busch race in Dover in 1995 and instantly fell in love with the place. Everytime we go back there to race, I seem to feel a little bit of extra confidence. We are going to try to duplicate that magic this weekend and celebrate in Victory Lane. I know we are going to have 400 Goulds Pumps customers in the stands on Saturday and I plan on giving them a lot to cheer about!"
