I’d love to have an opportunity to tie the greats in Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt Sr.

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.

You watch guys live through their peaks, and then unfortunately, you've got to come down from that peak.

Since I was kid, what's drawn me to racing is the feeling inside of me, the passion I have for the sport, the feeling I have while competing and doing what I do in a car, on a bike, whatever it's been

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