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

Being up front is the only place to be.

I think we have gotten through those brain dead moments on both our parts. Now we just love to race one another hard and clean.

I saw the wreck on TV in the hauler when I was getting dressed to leave. I thought, 'Oh, he'll be fine.' It didn't look like that type of an accident. I remember walking to the bus lot, seeing Teresa walk by. She definitely had a look on her face that I had not seen on her face before.

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

As I get older, my appreciation for wine has just increased. I fell in love with wine through my travels, but knowing what the wine country is all about definitely makes it my own.

Because the sport has changed, competition is not only stronger but it's deeper throughout the field than it's ever been. It's harder to win.
