Jimmie Johnson is putting a whoopin' on everybody!

Over the Thanksgiving holiday I took time to reflect on what is most important to me and realized I need to find a way to put the fun back into racing.

The Daytona 500 is a big race, and Darlington is just as big of an event, and a lot of people get excited for it.

I guess good things come to those who wait.

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.

James Finch has always had pretty stout cars for the restrictor-plate races and I know we'll be very competitive at Daytona.

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