Stand On It!
The Talladega Super Speedway is NASCAR's most competitive venue. For eighteen years I was the anchor on the live radio broadcast of time trials from Talladega, and covered races from the pits.
At the start of each race, as the flagman waves the green flag to start the race, thousands of fans rise to their feet & cheer, "Stand On It!" That means, put your right foot on the floor, slap the pedal to the metal and give it everything you've got! It means, put your heart in it.
In this world of people, we can accomplish only so much with our hands and heads. It's when we put our heart in our work that we excel, overcome challenge, and become champions. Good people, in good times, can do good work on cruise control. In these challenging times, what was good enough before is not good enough now. It's time to turn off the cruise control, put the pedal to the metal, and Stand On It!
In the heat of competition at Talladega, a fraction of a second can mean the difference between first place and last place. NASCAR racing is an extremely competitive team sport.
As our economy becomes more competitive, those who succeed in challenging times will be those who adapt with ingenuity, excel with individual efforts, and increase the odds for success with teamwork that is both efficient and effective.
