I've been fined probably more than any driver, and I've probably paid it out of my own pocket more than any driver.

I'm on probation, so I can't even pick my nose the right way.

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.

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.

That's what I try to do each and every week is give my best effort and not give up, no matter what comes at us.

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