Either you focus, or you hit something really hard.

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

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.

Ever since I've been racing, I've always been the young guy.

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.

In NASCAR, you don't have to be as physically strong as in some other forms of racing. You've just got to be able to endure the heat and endurance of it.

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