A resurgent Jeff Gordon. Certainly Burton would have to be on that list, as well, after finishes of fourth, fifth, fifth and third since he began his winning ways. Owner Jack Roush, himself, downplays the importance of a championship but he has added to the crews and engineering staff for each of his teams to the point that he just might win one anyway. It means that we have potential, and we got to go and put all of that stuff together. It will be hard to do.
Extra personnel can build better equipment more quickly.
The team can find ways to salvage points on the weekends when Burton cannot contend for victories. If we get in a wreck, it's because something was done wrong. We're the only ones that can control that. Any other logic, you might as well be playing blackjack. And I can't make my living playing blackjack.
