Jimmie Johnson is putting a whoopin' on everybody!

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.

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

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.

I also appreciate the lasting friendships I've made while working with our great sponsors through the years, including Miller Lite, Shell and Dodge.

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.
