The Silver Crown Series has produced some of the greatest drivers and they have a really rich history.
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.
drive laps
If I only had 10 more laps to drive in my career, I'd want do them at Darlington.
awesome car coming developed driver format good gotten great job places practice race size team third track tracks type
This type of race track - we race on so many tracks this size and in this format that as a driver I've gotten really good at these places and I feel comfortable coming to these places. As a team we've developed some awesome cars. We went out there and I think we were third in the first practice today. It's pretty straightforward. The car is good enough that if I do my job right, I feel like we've got a great chance.
best car driven
Right off the truck, the car was unbelievable, ... That was the best car I've driven in a while.
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.)
athletes consumed driven everybody highly involved succeeds totally whether
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.
cup driver
I'm going to be a Busch driver or a Cup driver one day.
awesome believe cup driven excited glad means number start zero
I'm really excited about getting my 50th start. I read that the other day, and I can't believe that I will have driven 50 Nextel Cup races; I didn't ever think I'd get to drive one. It's just awesome and it means the world to me. I am really glad to be a part of the sport at this level. Hopefully, there is another zero after that start number before I quit.

I'm looking forward to racing at Pevely. I think there are several other Cup drivers going like Dave Blaney and Casey Mears so I'm sure we'll have a lot of fun putting on a great show for the fans and at the same time raising money for charity.

The Roush Yates engine guys, I went over to the shop the other day, and they feel great about the new engines. I'm excited.
achieve competitor dominant jack less lucky perfection settle team though
I've teamed up with Jack Roush, and I couldn't be with a more dominant team than I am right now, ... Other than that, as a competitor I try not to settle for anything less than perfection even though we don't achieve it most of the time. I'm just very lucky to be a part of the team I'm part of.
