I grew up on two wheels in the dirt.

Jeff [Gordon] doesn't sit down and explain things. We don't sit and have meetings where I'm the student. He really teaches by example. I've learned a lot on and off the racetrack.

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

We've got a lot of racing left, but when we're winning at places we're not supposed to, you better watch out.

Experience is invaluable. I can't express enough how much experience in this sport has helped me as a driver.

I've challenged (Donovan McNabb) to whatever athletic endeavor he wants, but he laughs it off

If the roles were reversed, I would be saying the same thing. As a competitor, you're tired of the same guy winning. I guess I understand where they're coming from and what they're saying ... I don't necessarily agree with it. I think it would be great for someone to win five straight.
