I'm not the greatest qualifier, and I'm learning a lot,

I'm having so much fun, it's hard to explain it, ... They just keep giving me great cars with great engines.
caution few five kinds laps needed wish work
It was a gamble. Everything has to work just out just right in those kinds of situations. I needed another few laps. I wish we had another caution with five laps to go.
power win
If we've got race-winning power, we're going to go win the race. If we don't, we're going to just not wreck.
driver fans format good
If you can get the fans into it, and the only driver who doesn't like it is the (points) leader, then you've got a pretty good deal. I'd like to see them use the same format (in the Busch Series.)
fun
Hey, man, if it was all easy, it wouldn't be as much fun when you win.

He's totally consumed by racing, ... It's a passion. Everybody who succeeds highly is driven by what they're involved in, whether it's artists, writers, athletes or whatever.

He's one of those of those people who gives so much to the sport and tries so hard, ... that you can't help but be happy for someone like that.

I don't think I ran one lap as hard as I could. That's just the way we had to race.

I don't know if it's really fearlessness, ... but he's got a real good seat-of-the-pants feel. A lot of people, if they're going too fast, really freeze up or quit thinking.
amazing books-and-reading chapter exactly mark people treats
If I could write a book, there's going to be a chapter about Mark Martin. He's an unbelievable guy. He has an amazing character. He actually treats people exactly how they treat him. I mean, he doesn't waver.

I definitely think acting is something I'd like to do more of. I had such a blast being on the set of 24 .
believe bring car decided nervous
I couldn't believe he decided to bring the same car here. I was nervous about that.

I can't believe it, ... I wasn't allowing myself to even think of this, really. So, it's pretty cool. When I go home tomorrow it is going to be pretty neat.
