I am a racer. I'm not a race car driver. I am a racer. I race. That's what I do. I don't go on vacations. I don't take my family on vacations because I don't have a family. My family is the racing family.

If I have a love-hate relationship with Martinsville, then we're missing the love part of the equation.

It's hard to not make a mistake at Darlington.

To be a driver that can cross off one of those marquee events as a winner, that cements your legacy in motorsports, to be able to win the Daytona 500 is the ultimate dream of a race car driver.

I'm going to live my life. It's nobody else's decision, but mine. I think there are a lot worse things I could be doing with my life than what I choose to do.

I've had times where I walked up to the line, where I know the play, but don't know what to do.

I don't care how good you are, you have to have that feeling in your gut that you want to win every week when you go out there.
