I've been fortunate Daytona is a place I've run better than anywhere else, and that's a big race. Maybe it has to do with attention and pressure and the drive to do well when a lot of people are watching.

It would be hypocritical of me to use being female in some ways, and diss being female in other ways. It's part of the programme.

I didn't want to fall back. But I realized it was more important to make it to the end under my own power than to run flat out in the lead or in second and then run out of fuel with a lap to go.

I want to win at everything. I usually don't like things that I'm not good at, but it doesn't mean I don't want to win at them.

People have opinions about everything and especially when you get into that world of animal rights or tree rights or whatever rights, they all have an opinion.
