I don't think I can adequately express my feelings about the car on national radio, but hopefully we'll get better and I'll be happier later on.

I'm just trying not to get run over. That's number one. Number two is you gotta catch the guy in front of ya.

I don't like going on stage. Stages mean "nervous" for me.

The winner ain't the one with the fastest car. It's the one who refuses to lose.

I don't mind at all being approached when I'm 10 or more feet away from the car. If I'm anywhere away from the car, I'm fine. That's completely expected. But when I'm next to the car or within 10 feet of it, I'm thinking about that or working in that direction. And that's just something I'd rather be able to work on than be interrupted, really, by anybody.

Tried on daddy's 1979 rookie firesuit a while back. Smelled every bit of 36 years old.

Everything we do needs to be geared toward making the sport [auto racing] more accessible to the fans - the rules of the sport, how the race plays itself out, how people qualify into the races - everything needs to be as easy to understand as possible.
