It seems the young Jedi has done well. He learns quick - he's putting all his knowledge from his own team and what I've given him to work with.
It was fantastic. I just jumped out of the car, and it was cold when I got out of the car. It was really just to reflect on those 160,000 fans.
It's a privilege to take part in such a worthy cause. The people of that region need our help, and everyone at Crown Royal Championship Racing recognizes the urgency to do whatever we can to assist in the relief efforts.
It's going to be tough driving down the front straightaway, looking at the sun for a while, but that's the direction of our sport. And that's tough. If we start the race at 8 o'clock, it would be 11 p.m. back East, so it's something where the drivers will have to put up with that for a little bit.
It was a good day for us in the Sharpie 500. Anytime one af your major sponsors is also a sponsor of the race itself, you feel the need to reward them. I think we did that. It als gave us a chance to introduce the new 'Sharpie Mini,' which is half the size of the regular Sharpie.
It was a good run today. This is my hometown, and I want to do it for the home crowd on Sunday.
It's very important to get a good start.
That's exactly what we're hoping for this time around - another great day and a super team effort. We definitely plan on starting up closer to the front than we did there that day.
You could say this is like our first beer together.
All in all it was great, ... To be able to come back and work our way through the pack. We took four tires when we thought we needed to stay out and then we had a long green flag run and that put us into a great position.
You can still be a competitor and be well-rounded. You've got to have that edge on the track. It's just a matter of flipping a switch and becoming a good guy with your public image.
Dale Earnhardt told me it doesn't matter if fans boo or cheer, as long as they're making noise.
My father instilled in me a love for racing.
I wouldn't say it came easy, but I understood how to win and I determined how I could do it.
