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

James Finch is exactly what I'm looking for, as far as getting back into the race car to have fun.

It's an opportunity of a lifetime to be teamed up with (Kevin) Harvick, with Tony (Stewart), Danica (Patrick). Us four in the same meetings, it could be hell or could be great. I'm just kidding about the hell part.

It's almost therapeutic driving there and driving back (to North Carolina), with the time you get to think about things as well as create checklists.

There are a lot of lessons that you learn, and you have to learn them quickly if you want to be competitive at this top level.

Is my strike zone bigger than others? Yeah. It might be bigger than others, but I don't have a problem with it.

This 51 Phoenix Racing team, I love them to death. They've got my back, I've got theirs.
