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

As fast as we're going these days, especially because of the aerodynamics, we're all concerned about abusing tires. It's so fast that you're afraid of what you're going to do to the tires.

If somebody tells me, 'You have to pass that car right there,' I guarantee you I'm going to step up the aggressiveness to a whole other level and that may mean beating and banging. But until it calls for that moment, I'm not expecting to go out there and just beat and bang for no reason.

The business model of racing is not a pretty one.

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

You are going to make choices and decisions that sometimes aren't going to always work in your favor and they are going to upset some other people.

I want to race as long as I'm having fun, it's competitive and healthy, and who knows when that, you know, date comes when that's not happening anymore.
