It is just awesome, there’s no other way to describe it. To be the first to win in a Gen-6 car … I’m just very proud of the moment.

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

I just don't have words to express how proud I am of this race team.

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 grew up on two wheels in the dirt.

NASCAR does a good job of trying to keep things equal with new rules. We're not allowed to have computers in our cars to tell the crew what's going on. So the only thing you have is the driver, and the driver-crew chief relationship. That's the most important thing.

I feel I'm entitled to my opinion, right or wrong.
