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.

You know, its just a matter of working through the pitfalls sometimes and working through the challenges that lie ahead.

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

I'm technologically challenged, so I finally hooked up Bluetooth in my truck so I can talk going down the road.

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

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.

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'.
