My image lends itself a little bit more to the modern fan, sometimes more toward the kids, and I guess more toward the wine drinkers... I mean, I have my own wine, and fans love to pull for people they relate to.

I've been racing a long time, and I realize you go through good streaks and bad streaks.

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.

I just feel rejuvenated in such a big way because of these race cars I get to drive.

I don't feel I'm a step above anyone on this team. I'm just another link in the chain.

Yeah, I've made some mistakes. Every guy makes mistakes.

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.
