I just feel rejuvenated in such a big way because of these race cars I get to drive.
Our fans would never waste good beer by pouring it on us,
I've been racing a long time, and I realize you go through good streaks and bad streaks.
For some reason, no matter what happens in my life, I always seem to have a piece of my heart that says everything is going to be okay.
Yeah, I've made some mistakes. Every guy makes mistakes.
You know, sometimes guys work with other guys because they're buddies off the track, not necessarily because they're buddies on the track. Sometimes you've got that going against you or for you.
Racing is not what I like to do; it's winning.
Funds raised create hope for kids with cancer. Research is our top priority for discovering a cure.
As fast as we're going these days, especially because of the aerodynamics, we're all concerned about abusing tires. It's so fast that you're afraid of what you're going to do to the tires.
I want to race as long as I'm having fun, it's competitive and healthy, and who knows when that, you know, date comes when that's not happening anymore.
There are certain times when you can maybe intimidate certain people to force them to make a mistake. There are other people you know that you've got to make a clean pass. I try to make clean passes. That's something that I've been doing since I was 7 years old and that's the way I like to do it. It doesn't mean I always do it that way, but that's the way I prefer to do it.
I saw the wreck on TV in the hauler when I was getting dressed to leave. I thought, 'Oh, he'll be fine.' It didn't look like that type of an accident. I remember walking to the bus lot, seeing Teresa walk by. She definitely had a look on her face that I had not seen on her face before.
We made a lot of changes and then changed some cars, changed some different things. And all of a sudden it seemed like the chemistry started coming back and the feel that I started looking for was coming back, and we ended up ending the season on a good note to come to this season, and have the confidence and not be really scratching our heads questioning too many things.
We didn't see a whole lot of bump-drafting throughout the day until right there at the end. We didn't end up under caution or red, so that was a good thing.
