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.

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'.

I know where my priorities lie.

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.

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

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