In NASCAR, you don't have to be as physically strong as in some other forms of racing. You've just got to be able to endure the heat and endurance of it.
Because the sport has changed, competition is not only stronger but it's deeper throughout the field than it's ever been. It's harder to win.
I saw the wreck on TV in the hauler when I was getting dressed to leave. I thought, 'Oh, he'll be fine.' It didn't look like that type of an accident. I remember walking to the bus lot, seeing Teresa walk by. She definitely had a look on her face that I had not seen on her face before.
I don't feel I'm a step above anyone on this team. I'm just another link in the chain.
You are going to make choices and decisions that sometimes aren't going to always work in your favor and they are going to upset some other people.
In our business, just getting to 40 means something...that's why I think sometimes you have to just live in the moment. You have to enjoy life to its fullest.
There's no greater feeling than winning a race.
You may be leading, then you might be at the back of the pack trying to work your way up. It's just a constant reminder not to give up, and to know that God, in my mind, is really in control.
You've got to be the best person you can be in your life.
However, Florida wine consumers have relatively low awareness of Washington wine. By launching our first national ad campaign in a 'clean' test market, we can see the degree by which our efforts can move the needle.
I could just tell that the car had that feel, it had that comfort to me. I had a car underneath me where I felt I could get aggressive with it.
I do believe in karma, but I also do believe in consistency. If you are running in the top five week in and week out, you'll put yourself in position to eventually get into Victory Lane.
I believe 100 percent in Robbie Loomis and in his abilities. When we're on, there's nobody better, and because of our lack of performance this year I really don't think that, you know, Robbie should be put to blame for that.
It's intense pressure. The Chase has created a whole different aspect of pressure and how you look at the season.
