| "Nazareth is
an interesting track. It drives like a road course and I
really enjoyed racing there. We weren't as competitive as we'd
like to be. I started 26th. I had some close calls. Kenny
Wallace got tagged coming into the dogleg and he spun out
right in front of me. He hit the wall and stayed up on the
wall. I was able to stay low on the track and miss him. On one
of the restarts, Kelly Denton and David Donohue got caught up
in an accident and I had to go on the grass to miss them. I finished 28th again.

On Nazareth
Speedway: "I've never seen the track but the drivers I've
spoken to say it's more like a road course than an oval. I've only
run about 10 road courses in my life. My dad gave me some advice on
how to run it. He ran it in a stock car when it was dirt back in the
60's and most recently in the Indy cars when they paved it."
Note: A.J. Foyt won a
USAC stock car race at Nazareth in 1969. He won the pole and the
race on the one and
one-eighth-mile dirt track. His best finish in the Indy car was
seventh in 1987.
At New
Hampshire International Speedway last week: "That race was
probably the worst race I've had this season. We struggled the whole
weekend. We went with a standard snout car and had trouble dialing
it in and had trouble right from the start, it's a tricky track. The
we hit the wall in Happy Hour so we had to go to the back-up car
which was a drop-snout car. We got about 15 minutes of practice in
it. So it wasn't very good in the race. I just tried to stay out of
trouble."
Foyt will be
joining in the pre-race festivities for the Carquest Auto Parts
300 at Lowe's Motor Speedway. He is scheduled to take part in the
Harris Teeter's Race Fest Monday night, the Tuesday golf tournament
to benefit the Busch Series Ladies Association and the Parade in
downtown Charlotte that evening.
 Foyt is 25th in the NASCAR Busch Series standings.
Foyt's Bests in the Harrah's No. 14 Monte Carlo this season:
Best Start: 14th on April 14th at Nashville Superspeedway
Best Finish: 12th on April 21st at Talladega Superspeedway
