The Daytona 500 is a career-winning race. It defines careers for drivers, crew members, crew chiefs and race teams. It has that power.
The competition in today's world of racing is so tough.
I was able to get through the field and get this Lowe's ProServices Chevy up front. Those last few restarts I was able to hang on and duke it out with those guys and get a nice, top-three finish.
I've been very fortunate to dodge a nickname throughout my entire career. I've never had one.
I feel I'm entitled to my opinion, right or wrong.
NASCAR does a good job of trying to keep things equal with new rules. We're not allowed to have computers in our cars to tell the crew what's going on. So the only thing you have is the driver, and the driver-crew chief relationship. That's the most important thing.
It is just awesome, there’s no other way to describe it. To be the first to win in a Gen-6 car … I’m just very proud of the moment.
I grew up on two wheels in the dirt.
Very few athletes have the chance to be brought into the White House.
I've challenged (Donovan McNabb) to whatever athletic endeavor he wants, but he laughs it off
I’d love to have an opportunity to tie the greats in Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt Sr.
There is no other way to start the season than to win the Daytona 500.
I grew up racing off-road trucks. They were on road courses with jumps. I made a name for myself in that style of racing.
I swam in high school.
Jeff [Gordon] doesn't sit down and explain things. We don't sit and have meetings where I'm the student. He really teaches by example. I've learned a lot on and off the racetrack.
I really enjoy the football season.
I've always wanted to get involved with designing a video game.
I just don't have words to express how proud I am of this race team.
I lift weights four times a week, usually run five days a week.
