No matter what happens, I'll always say that I've had a wonderful life.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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