“When Jimmie Johnson goes out early and finishes 35th, as he did Sunday, he can look at the cameras, lament about it being a tough day, and then say, 'We'll just try to get them next week at Darlington.'”

“I've been fined probably more than any driver, and I've probably paid it out of my own pocket more than any driver.”

“I'm technologically challenged, so I finally hooked up Bluetooth in my truck so I can talk going down the road.”

“Just a ton of excitement, and the way the guys are together on this, they're looking at me to grow and to learn, and I'm looking at them to grow and to learn.”

“You really don't put a value on your first win, it is priceless no matter where you are.”

“I just always dreamed of racing cars, but I didn't think I could do it as a living.”

“There's steps that I've taken already, and each week, talking with the sports psychologist on a routine basis and working with the different programs that we're going through. This is all stuff that you can say you're going to make a difference, but I'm putting it into action.”

“That's what I try to do each and every week is give my best effort and not give up, no matter what comes at us.”

“I also appreciate the lasting friendships I've made while working with our great sponsors through the years, including Miller Lite, Shell and Dodge.”

“There are going to be little victories that we claim, even if it's finishing 15th and putting the car back in hauler without a scratch on it.”

“Is my strike zone bigger than others? Yeah. It might be bigger than others, but I don't have a problem with it.”
