I got run over by a bug-eyed dummy, I guess.

It's good way to relax when I come home from the road. When you're out there on the tractor there's nobody to bother you.

After Richmond, we went to Dover and tested that week at Kentucky. I was going to Dover and we had to get the trainer to meet us at the airport. I had to do some therapy on my ribs they hurt so bad.

I feel safe when I'm on the racetrack, I really do. I know that I'm surrounded by the best drivers in the world. That's something you can't say when you're driving down the interstate.

That's about the 1000th and tenth time (I've been asked about my neck). It's OK. I'm been doing a little stuff. I got some stuff from UT, weights to build you back up.

The guys have a lot of good cars built up. We're going to do some more testing before we go back to Las Vegas and try to win at Vegas again. We need to get off to a quick start.

We're having a good time. That's what I did last year. If you can't have a good time, you might as well stay home. I feel real good.

The hardest part was getting the window net hooked back. I didn't think I was ever going to get it hooked. I finally got it hooked. If I'd known that I wouldn't have tried to hook it.

I think we'll be in pretty good shape. We've got the same car we ran in all the speedway races since 2001, and it's been a real good car for us. It's led every race we've been in.

Philosophy is not a spectator sport.

Nobody will walk the entire journey with you. Their roads do diverge, so does yours.

Confession is an act of violence against the unoffending.

To be a writer, you must write. To be a published writer you must finish what you write and then get what you've written in front of the outside world.

You can't argue with what is.... Well, you can, but if you do, you suffer.

You should never bet against anything in science at odds of more than about 10-12 to 1.

Most people in Hollywood are making about 10 percent of all the things they're considering; I am making 95 percent.

May all of you as Americans never forget your heroic origins, never fail to seek Divine guidance, and never lose your natural God-given optimism.

I'm Southern Baptist, not a meteorologist.

Be there for your kids. Later, when you need them, they'll be there for you.
