I just always dreamed of racing cars, but I didn't think I could do it as a living.

There wouldn't be any way I could have jumped into Cup with the success I had without the truck series. I wish I had more time to spend there. There are so many things the truck teaches you about aerodynamics, the professional ranks of racing, and working with a professional team.

I am grateful to Penske Racing for six very productive years. Together we won a lot of races - 16 in all. I'm proud that we won on a variety of tracks.

I wouldn't say it came easy, but I understood how to win and I determined how I could do it.

I'm technologically challenged, so I finally hooked up Bluetooth in my truck so I can talk going down the road.
