OVAL OFFICE INTERVIEWS.(top NASCAR drivers)(Brief Article)

Are you ever scared when you're in the race car?

Johnny Benson: I don't know if scared is the right word. There (are) tense moments, I guess you could say.

Steve Park: All the time. I'm a scaredy cat!

Michael Waltrip: Never. Concerned. That's what my Dad said one day when we had a tornado. I asked him, "Are you scared, Daddy?" and he said, "No, I'm concerned."

Dale Jarrett: Scared? Everybody's got a level where they feel comfortable in the car. Sometimes you go beyond that level. I don't know if you can call that scared or what. You don't want to get to that point very often.

Bobby Labonte: I'm not sure I've been scared as much as I've scared other people.

Tony Stewart: There (are) times when you get scared, but that keeps you on your game. If you forget how dangerous these things can be, that's when you get into trouble.
