Everybody did a good job. I think if it goes like that for the 500 it will be OK.

Everybody did a good job. I think if it goes like that for the 500 it'll be OK. I'm telling you no matter what anybody says or tries to say or mandate, those last laps of the Daytona 500 are going to be exciting.

Every time you go to the race track you have the same chance of winning no matter how you performed in the past, so I'm trying not to think about what happened before -- just go out and do the same thing we did the first time and the second time and if we get the same result, man, that would be unbelievable.

along car drivers flying fun machines neat night pinch race together
I think race car drivers and airplanes go together pretty well. They're just neat machines and I've always thought about being a pilot. So I'm having fun with that. I have to pinch myself when I'm flying along at night in my own airplane, going to a race somewhere.
