My fans are always extremely loyal.

The thing I love about off-road racing is the pride in how abusive it is.

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

The Daytona 500 is a career-winning race. It defines careers for drivers, crew members, crew chiefs and race teams. It has that power.

It's real easy to sit on your couch and point fingers and say, 'So-and-so did something wrong...'. But until you are out there in these cars at these speeds and seeing all the near-misses and what is really going on, it is not worth forming an opinion.

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

I do find it amusing when somebody cuts me off, makes an aggressive move on me in a car. I'm like, 'Do you have any idea what I do for a living? Why?'
