I am grateful to Penske Racing for six very productive years. Together we won a lot of races - 16 in all. I'm proud that we won on a variety of tracks.

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

It's better sometimes to be lucky than good.

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

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've been fined probably more than any driver, and I've probably paid it out of my own pocket more than any driver.

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.
