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

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.

Each driver has their own identity and from one week to another, normally it stays the same.

There are going to be little victories that we claim, even if it's finishing 15th and putting the car back in hauler without a scratch on it.

It's better sometimes to be lucky than good.

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.
