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.

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

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.

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

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.

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