“I'm not going to go out there and set the world on fire and win my first race. People have to understand that. It's going to take time. It's going to take a lot of learning. I think eventually we'll obviously get better with time.”

“I run all my social. I post everything, all the videos and stuff.”

“When you get to stock racing, you have to be a little more patient and 'save your stuff' to be there at the end.”

“I feel like in NASCAR, there's not many personalities that take up social media. Most of the time, it's just the media person doing it for them, and you don't get that connection with the fans when you do that.”

“Because at the end of the day, you really only have one reputation and one shot, and once you kind of get that bad reputation and don't have some good results, then it's kind of over. It's really hard to build it back.”

“Even in the ARCA race we have scheduled pit stops. You're already rolling with everyone; you can't lose any spots. But in the trucks, you can lose or gain a ton.”

“I didn't really know what I was going to do when I was 15, or where I was heading.”

“Off-track, I do a lot of physical training, I work out a lot. My dad grew up in the motocross scene, where it's intense and everyone's in really good shape. That's the lifestyle that I grew up around, so I might work out more than other racers do.”

“Do I influence people? Maybe.”
