It's a privilege to take part in such a worthy cause. The people of that region need our help, and everyone at Crown Royal Championship Racing recognizes the urgency to do whatever we can to assist in the relief efforts. |
It's been a tough few weeks with running into SAFER barriers, luckily, and researching with NASCAR what type of G-force my body's been through, ... You just need time to repair, to rebuild and to re-gather yourself, and next week something else would happen. And so this is a great taste of victory. It's very satisfying. |

It's been great. I'm with new people around me, a new team. We're going out to dinner tonight, 18 of us. |
It's going to be tough driving down the front straightaway, looking at the sun for a while, but that's the direction of our sport. And that's tough. If we start the race at 8 o'clock, it would be 11 p.m. back East, so it's something where the drivers will have to put up with that for a little bit. |
It's great to be able to finish off the regular season on a strong note and jump into the Chase race with a very similar track in New Hampshire. |
It's great to have the chance to practice under the lights, especially when both of our races are here at night. |
It's Jack's decision. We'll see what happens. |
It's just the same old deal, you go race your car, |
It's mind games, and he's already starting too early. |
It's something I'll remember forever, racing Mark Martin for the IROC win. It was one of those great battles, where I knew if I couldn't hit him, knew I couldn't touch him, and I wanted to race him clean. |
It's something that's very special to win a championship. We want to do something even more special -- win a back-to-back championship. We're definitely putting the pressure on ourselves to do it. |
It's very important to get a good start. |
Las Vegas is a unique place to represent. For one thing, most everybody is shipped in from different areas. You're never from Vegas. I'm one of the few who was born and raised there. ... I want to win the Las Vegas 400 just as bad as the Daytona 500. |
Last year in the spring it was an alternator belt that broke when we were leading that took us out of contention, and then in the fall last year we were leading at the end before fuel strategy cost us the win. But Richmond is a terrific racetrack. |
