My fans are always extremely loyal.

I've met a handful of presidents, from Jimmy Carter to Bill Clinton to George Bush to Barack Obama.

You watch guys live through their peaks, and then unfortunately, you've got to come down from that peak.
team race proud
I just don't have words to express how proud I am of this race team.
example down-and students
Jeff [Gordon] doesn't sit down and explain things. We don't sit and have meetings where I'm the student. He really teaches by example. I've learned a lot on and off the racetrack.
jobs car important
NASCAR does a good job of trying to keep things equal with new rules. We're not allowed to have computers in our cars to tell the crew what's going on. So the only thing you have is the driver, and the driver-crew chief relationship. That's the most important thing.

Experience is invaluable. I can't express enough how much experience in this sport has helped me as a driver.
team fall games
I have a lot of confidence in myself, a lot of confidence in the race team, our equipment and if my mind plays games on me, I just fall back on the team.
