I really enjoy the football season.

I've met a handful of presidents, from Jimmy Carter to Bill Clinton to George Bush to Barack Obama.

I've always looked for my affirmation through my peers, the people I race against, and within my team.

I want to say thank you to everybody at Hendrick Motorsports for their hard work...Obviousl y, the front row is very special, big thank you to Chevrolet and my awesome sponsor Lowe's Home Improvement !

I grew up in a very simple home, a very simple background, and to be able to do what I'm able to do today, I'm very honored. I don't think I'll ever lose that perspective, and I don't want to.

I grew up racing off-road trucks. They were on road courses with jumps. I made a name for myself in that style of racing.

I've been very fortunate to dodge a nickname throughout my entire career. I've never had one.
