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

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

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

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.

Is my strike zone bigger than others? Yeah. It might be bigger than others, but I don't have a problem with it.

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