"Joe has a much raw talent as I've ever come across. I would love to see him in a Roush car. He would challenge to win every race."

Dennis Grau, President of Fairgrounds Speedway
(From article in Tennessean)

"I want to tell you something about him (Joe Buford.) If anybody's got a racecar and they don't think somebody's driving it hard. If they think anything's left in the race car, You put Joe Buford in it and whatever that thing runs with him in it, that's as fast as it'll run."

Bobby Hamilton
