In the past, people said I wasn't focused and didn't give it the time. That's a bunch of crap. I'm not doing anything different now than I did before.

Mile tracks put more emphasis on the driver. On the longer tracks, you can drive flat out all the way around, so it's more of an engineering exercise. On a mile, you can't run flat out. You're constantly in traffic, there's more driver involvement.

I've always loved old hot rods. I have four or five of them at home that I work on when I'm not working out.

No matter if I have a job for one weekend or for the next year, or three years, I'm going to drive the same way. That's the way I am. I'm going to give it everything I have.

Things happen for a reason. We'll see where life takes me from here.

When the car's going well, I purr like a kitten.

You have to take the hits as they come and you have to take the opportunities.
