opportunity ties petty
I’d love to have an opportunity to tie the greats in Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt Sr.
winning racing watches
We've got a lot of racing left, but when we're winning at places we're not supposed to, you better watch out.
example down-and students
Jeff [Gordon] doesn't sit down and explain things. We don't sit and have meetings where I'm the student. He really teaches by example. I've learned a lot on and off the racetrack.
team race proud
I just don't have words to express how proud I am of this race team.
nice guy able
I was able to get through the field and get this Lowe's ProServices Chevy up front. Those last few restarts I was able to hang on and duke it out with those guys and get a nice, top-three finish.
team fall games
I have a lot of confidence in myself, a lot of confidence in the race team, our equipment and if my mind plays games on me, I just fall back on the team.
team eye lame
I lived in Wisconsin for a while, so I keep my eyes on the Packers. I grew up in San Diego, so there's the Chargers, but outside of that, I'm really kind of lame because I don't have a specific team I pull for.
winning way daytona
There is no other way to start the season than to win the Daytona 500.
pride racing things-i-love
The thing I love about off-road racing is the pride in how abusive it is.
team winning careers
The Daytona 500 is a career-winning race. It defines careers for drivers, crew members, crew chiefs and race teams. It has that power.
corporate dollars food
We're still at the Brickyard, right? It's all corporate dollars and we all have to do what we can to put food on the table.
I suck at golf and a variety of other things I go out and do with my friends.
chatter guys worry
There are a lot of other guys to worry about, ... I'm not going to let all this chatter get us something to worry about.
car changed rear track wearing
We were competitive at one point, ... I just feel like the car was abusive and we were wearing the right rear out. And then again, the track changed some more, or something changed and got away from us and we couldn't keep up with it.
