Famous quotes by Reed Sorenson:

"They asked me if I was still there (on the radio) because I went three laps under caution and didn't say a word."
"I'm pretty much the only Georgia guy left out there as of right now, so it's going to be pretty cool to try to run well for the hometown fans,"
"You know what, that was a pretty good deal, the whole thing, ... During the race, I didn't even think about it. It wouldn't have mattered if it was Jeff Gordon or Michael Schumacher, I was going to drive as hard as I could."
"I'll tell you what, if I'd have lost that race I'd have been sick, that's for sure,"
"That was a big wreck to watch."
"I can't think of a better place to make my Nextel Cup debut than Atlanta, ... I'm going to be pretty nervous making that qualifying lap."

"To win the championship. We think we have the team to do it and we're certainly going to give it our all. Our goals are to go out there and do the best we can each week and we'll see how it ends up."
"It makes it a little bit easier for us all to adapt together. I think it's going to be interesting to see how well we do. I think we'll all run pretty decent."
