> Just a sticker I thought was cool. So I snuck it into the car and stuck it on the dash that night. Bud was pissed off because of the connection of that symbol with poison.
>
> They actually asked our team if I could remove it during the race. I didn’t get that information till years later.

Context: Asked what the skull sticker on his dashboard in the 2001 Pepsi 400 was for. (https://www.reddit.com/r/NASCAR/comments/kall4h/comment/gfb82k0/)

Replying to the post "could a fan just throw trash on track to cause a debris caution?".

> A fan should only throw trash on the track if Jeff Gordon is declared the leader at the time of the caution thus making him the winner and denying you a win at Talladega.

Replying to the post "What’s Our Take On Hocevar?".

> I look at the competitors like a cast for a movie. You need villains and heroes and all types. Hocevar reminds me of the oddball teammate. Think Howling Mad Murdock from the A Team. Kinda strange, but good for the group. I think we are all still learning what kind of character he has, but no doubt he's fast. He will be around for a while and likely have some really wild swings in ups and downs. Surprisingly good decisions followed by unexplainable bad ones. And that's absolutely perfect for us who get to enjoy the drama and storylines. He's gonna keep it interesting.

Replying to the post "Did Stewart-Haas make a mistake by signing Josh Berry so early this year?".

> It’s my fault. I didn’t give him what he needed this year. He’s good enough for the cup opportunity. The lack of wins/success this year was not a JBerry issue.
