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.

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

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

Leaving a great organization and a lucrative contract is not easy, but it allows me to take a deep breath and work on things that can make me a better driver and a better person.

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

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.

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