I definitely get pumped up when I hear a crowd cheering for me.

I don't feel like I've really changed. Maybe I have let people see more of me than in the past.

For some reason, no matter what happens in my life, I always seem to have a piece of my heart that says everything is going to be okay.

I think fear is what keeps us from going over the edge. I mean, as a race car driver, I don't think what makes a good race car driver is a fearless person. I think it's somebody that is comfortable being behind the wheel of something that's somewhat out of control.

In our business, just getting to 40 means something...that's why I think sometimes you have to just live in the moment. You have to enjoy life to its fullest.

My career in racing started at a very young age in California.

You know, sometimes guys work with other guys because they're buddies off the track, not necessarily because they're buddies on the track. Sometimes you've got that going against you or for you.
