awkward hold holding picture position
I get this a lot: 'Oh, can you take a picture with my baby? Can you hold the baby?' I don't want to hold your baby! I'll hold my baby. I don't like holding someone else's baby. I'm serious! You never know what could happen. It's such an awkward position you're put in, and it's like, 'No, sorry.'
I've made a lot of friends over the years through racing, but we weren't necessarily teammates.
remember time
I don't remember the first time I won. I remember the first time I lost, and it sucked. It was go-karts; I was, like, 6 years old.
business time
Now, when it's time to get down to business, I get down to business.
people
When people are nice to me, I'm nice to them.
Just take each race as it comes and have fun.
cars fans good sports
I think it's good for sports cars to be united, to be just one. I think it's good for the fans. When you have two different series, fans don't know which way to go, when you only have one I think it's good for the sport.
absence time
I'm busy, man, too busy. There's a lamentable absence of free time.
I'd rather have a hot dog than caviar.
against both gotta hard race respect
You've gotta respect everybody. If they race hard against you, you've got to race hard against them. It's very simple; if there's respect both ways, there's no problem.

You know, I think in Europe NASCAR is not regarded as high as it should.
woods fit get-fit
I get fit taking my bike out in the woods.
way american-way-of-life
I love the American way of life.
snowboarding car driving
Snowboarding is like driving a car. When things are all right, you're on it. But when things go wrong, it goes really, really bad really fast.
