You have to take the hits as they come and you have to take the opportunities.

Its always a little different, racing on your hometown track. It makes it more special.

When the car's going well, I purr like a kitten.

It's pretty cool to be able to hang out with the President and have the race-winning car on the South Lawn.

There's a ton of talent in this country. Some just need to be given a shot.

No matter if I have a job for one weekend or for the next year, or three years, I'm going to drive the same way. That's the way I am. I'm going to give it everything I have.

You have to take everything as it comes.

In the past, people said I wasn't focused and didn't give it the time. That's a bunch of crap. I'm not doing anything different now than I did before.

I think in losing we find out who that person really is.

There are no bad people, there are people with insufficient information to make appropriate decisions.

Gather ye rose-buds while ye may, Old Time is still a flying: And this same flower that smiles to day, Tomorrow will be dying.

I shudder when relating it.
