Jorge Goeters on
Racing in Mexico:
First of
all I want to thank all
of the press for their
amazing support and
coverage. This event is
very exciting for all of
us. Not only is this an
opportunity to showcase
our drivers, but it has
been a great way to show
the world what our
country is all about. I
would not be here today
without the support of
my sponsors: Canel's,
Comex, Scotiabank
Inverlat, and Ford
Racing, and most
importantly my family. I
am thrilled to have
joined the NASCAR family
today and cannot express
to you how much this
event means to me and my
country. I have always
dreamed about racing in
NASCAR, and now I
finally have the
chance. My fellow
competitors have
welcomed me with open
arms, and have been an
invaluable resource. I
hope this is the sign of
things to come.
Jorge Goeters on
Winning the Busch Pole
Award:
Obviously, this is very,
very exciting. I must
thank my team. Clarence
Brewer (team owner) and
Newt Moore (crew chief)
took a chance on me, and
I owe them a lot. We
have been working for
this for the past few
weeks, and really felt
like we had a shot to
win the pole. I can't
say that the lap was
perfect as I was a
little loose in the
corners. I just tried
to be as smooth and
careful as possible. I
didn't even know the lap
was that good until my
team told me, "You did
it, you are the man."
This is the best feeling
in the world, and it's
twice as special to do
it in front on my
hometown crowd. Today's
environment was
electric. I'm going to
have a hard time
sleeping tonight.
Jorge Goeters on
NASCAR Racing:
I had
never driven a car this
heavy until a few weeks
ago, but was able to
adjust pretty quickly.
We had a very good test
session in the US a few
weeks ago, and felt like
we were going to be
competitive here. These
cars are a lot of fun to
drive and the
competition makes it
ever more exciting.
Winning the pole is only
part of what we set out
to accomplish. I think
we have a really good
shot at winning the race
tomorrow.
Jorge Goeters on
Sunday's NASCAR Busch
Series Race:
I am very
excited for tomorrow's
race. There are a lot
of very talented drivers
in the field, but
hopefully running in the
Desafio Corona race
today will give me a
little advantage on
Sunday. Track position
is essential at a race
like this, and there's
no better place to start
than up front. I have a
great team behind me,
and I know that I have a
car capable of winning
the race. The fans and
the press are in for a
treat.
