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.

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.

The business model of racing is not a pretty one.

I think driving in New York is a great experience. A lot more racing techniques go into it than anyplace else I've ever driven. There basically are no lanes.

When you've got the Daytona 500 out there at stake and everything riding on the line, guys go for it, and the guys that go for it are the ones that are either going to win or they're going to wreck.

There's no greater feeling than winning a race.

In California, especially Northern California, the fans really cheer for me.
