“You have to bump or throw a block sometimes. Even when it goes wrong, how many times has it worked? I think it's a matter of picking and choosing your battles. You gotta do what you've gotta do to try to get a win.”
“Being over at Ford offers a much clearer path in my development.”
“I have raced trucks in the off-road world but to now have the opportunity to race trucks next season in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series is a dream come true.”
“Any opportunity I get to get into a car, no matter what kind of car it is, I will drive. Driving all of those different cars helps your abilities.”
“There's nothing I hate more than an over-cocky person. I have friends that'll be all cocky and then go out and get their butt whooped. They're the worst.”
“You're never going to make everyone happy. There's always going to be someone who says something about you on Twitter. You just focus on all the people who do support you. With negative people, it's not me who has the problem. It's them.”
“I'm trying to build a good fanbase, a good army behind me of people and supporters.”
“When there's a goal ahead of you, you want to move past it, and make a new goal for someone else.”
“I try to keep it really real on my social media, whether it's me training or working out, whether it's me practicing or failing at something.”
“That's what stock-car racing is. You hit someone, or you get hit. That's something I had to learn. It's a key factor in why I'm so aggressive. I don't want to have to hit you. But if you're going to hit me, I'm going to hit you.”
“I'm so used to being in this racing world. This is what I want to do. I don't like doing anything else.”
“Definitely, road courses are something where I lack experience.”
“I'm trying to build relationships with the drivers trying to figure out who is going to help, who is not going to help and who I can trust.”
“In the end, I'm a racer, I'm not a model, obviously. I lost about a foot of my height for that. And in the end, I'm not trying to be one. I'm trying to be a real person. Try to be a racer.”
“I like Kyle Busch, I love his driving style. He might not have the most positivity off the track, but I do like his driving style.”
“A lot of drivers don't put that stuff on social media because they're scared they might get criticized or whatever, and there will be people who say I can't drive. I just don't let it get to me and do my own thing.”
“The hardest thing for me was just getting crew chiefs and people to believe in me.”
“I don't think you should compare yourself to anyone else because everyone is in a different situation.”
“I try really not to focus on what I've accomplished, but what I need to do next, what I'm working towards.”
“I don't want to be cocky, but I want to win a championship and feel that with my team, I have the ability.”
