It's better sometimes to be lucky than good.

When Jimmie Johnson goes out early and finishes 35th, as he did Sunday, he can look at the cameras, lament about it being a tough day, and then say, 'We'll just try to get them next week at Darlington'.

You really don't put a value on your first win, it is priceless no matter where you are.

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.

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 never did any of things I was accused of. It was a total fabrication.

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