Autographs Quote by John Wes Townley
“I think you want to do as much as you can for your fans. I take as many opportunities as I can when it comes to media and interviews and autograph sessions and things of that nature - as long as it's not interfering with the schedule and how much inexperience you can get on the track. When it starts to cut into that, it's kind of defeating the purpose. So that's where I draw the line.”

![“I'd say it [success in NASCAR] is probably 50% car, 30% driver and 20% luck. When it comes to the driving, if the driver doesn't do his part, then it's just kind of like multiplying a negative times a positive: The end result is going to be a negative.” quote by John Wes Townley](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/b58/john-wes-townley-76720_car_i-d-say-it-success-in-nascar-is-probably_611069.jpg)
