“I don't care who your dad or granddad or mom is. You're not them, and they're not you. It really doesn't matter at the end of the day.”
“I think because of my name and my dad, two things I am so proud of, the bar has always been so high in people's minds. But my bar has always been higher than that.”
“The whole sport, I feel like for years has done a great job trying to recognize the heroes amongst the country.”
“I had a lot of respect for what my dad did and the success that he had. I wanted to give it a try. He never forced me in any way to go this route. It was my decision. He would push me to work harder at it but only because it was my decision to race. If there was ever a day when I didn't want to do it any more, he would be fine.”
“I'm going to go about my business the way I like to go about it. Hopefully, that's good enough.”
“What is feasible - and guys do this - is to be in contention every single week.”
“In racing you're not going to win every week, and we understand that.”
“I love what I do, and I'm lucky to have the opportunities I have to go race, and that's all I can ask for.”
“I think you should be a fan of something first if you intend to spend your life around it. You're going to have days when things don't go your way at the track. On those days, you just have to realize they happen to everybody in his sport and basically just suck it up.”
“Our goal is to win and win often.”
“Whatever it is, we want to be able to win at any time. The great teams and the great drivers are capable of doing that, and I think we are capable doing that.”
“I don't think people realize how much that means to a driver when they see you wearing their T-shirt. It goes a long way for me.”
“I am only a morning person when I have to be.”
“There are certain people you listen to who might be a tick better than someone else.”
“If you sit in a box all the time and don't do anything fun and don't live life, you're probably not going to do yourself any good. I refuse to be that way.”
“We want to grow NASCAR.”
“Opportunities are opportunities, but you've got to perform and do your part to stay around.”
“I love Corey Smith, love his music.”
“Sure, I'm competitive and I want to do well and I've put pressure on myself - I think anybody who is competitive and wants to try to get better is going to be that way. We're just trying to improve and get better.”
