(Car owner Mark Burch) is one hell of a person, one hell of a friend, and a great crew chief,He and I are the only crew, and I do the fuel. He does everything else. He works his tail off, and I want to thank his beautiful wife Mary and his kids, because they’d probably rather have him home. The yellows started coming out, and you don’t know how much of your tire you need to save, and how much you need to go. The track was shining up and we had to save our tire. It worked out for us.” Danny Lasoski winning at Knoxville Raceway and being inducted into the Knoxville Raceway Hall of Fame the same night.
