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.

I know where my priorities lie.

It's better sometimes to be lucky than good.

My father instilled in me a love for racing.

I'm on probation, so I can't even pick my nose the right way.

It was such a dramatic escalator that I was on. It was at 90 degrees. I was going straight up like a rocket ship into space. And I was thrown in with the sharks. They said sink or swim in this Cup deal.

You think I'm a pretty good race car driver? Wait until you see my brother. He's the best driver in the family.
