“Dale Jr. has never gotten a fair shake from the start because, guess what? He's not his father. He was always supposed to have been someone else. The pressure he's under is unreal.”
“I don't know why we have this flair for having dramatic finishes, but we've definitely had a few through the years.”
“I've been fortunate enough to have won a lot of races and do a lot of things in my career.”
“That's your goal every week: to put yourself in contention. There's a lot of circumstances and a lot of things that have to play out for that to happen.”
“You always want to win.”
“I have been around this long enough to know that there are no givens in this particular sport. There are too many things that can go wrong. There are too many things that can change.”
“I always like my chances at Daytona.”
“You want to see how many races you can win, you want to see how many laps you can lead.”
“I don't ever leave my garage stall during practice. I don't want to know what other people are doing. I don't look at the scoreboard.”
“I sometimes need to be smarter, but that's not going to change how I drive.”
“Experience will always win in this sport. That experience helps with a lot of things, even in the race shop. You are going to have experience in certain scenarios where you can make those right decisions.”
“For me, I believe that Dale Jr. has had a big part in kind of stunting the growth of NASCAR because he's got these legions of fans and this huge outreach of being able to reach different places that none of us have the possibility to reach, but he's won nine races in 10 years at Hendrick Motorsports and hasn't been able to reach outside of that.”
“There were some struggles throughout the year at RCR. In order to keep yourself relevant, you had to find a headline. In order to find a headline, you had to do something that wasn't right, like jump over a car or say something you shouldn't.”
“We can control how we run, and that's about it.”
“I had to decide if I wanted to race full time or be an architect. I decided I could always go back to school.”
“When you have the most stable team in the garage from a financial standpoint and manufacturer standpoint, that attracts good people.”
“If you make the schedule exciting and make the events exciting, that is what guarantees you the people to come back if they had a good time.”
“I like competition. For me, it is fun.”
“The night I won my first Late Model race was the night my mom moved everything out of the house... There was a lot of situations like that.”
“Even if you only have 30- or 40,000 people in the grandstands, if you put on a good event for TV and do the things that it takes to have a unique event, that is really what people want. They want unique things.”
