You know, sometimes guys work with other guys because they're buddies off the track, not necessarily because they're buddies on the track. Sometimes you've got that going against you or for you.

You are going to make choices and decisions that sometimes aren't going to always work in your favor and they are going to upset some other people.

You may be leading, then you might be at the back of the pack trying to work your way up. It's just a constant reminder not to give up, and to know that God, in my mind, is really in control.

I'm just another link in the chain.

There's no greater feeling than winning a race.

You've got to be the best person you can be in your life.

As I get older, my appreciation for wine has just increased. I fell in love with wine through my travels, but knowing what the wine country is all about definitely makes it my own.

I think fear is what keeps us from going over the edge. I mean, as a race car driver, I don't think what makes a good race car driver is a fearless person. I think it's somebody that is comfortable being behind the wheel of something that's somewhat out of control.

I want to race as long as I'm having fun, it's competitive and healthy, and who knows when that, you know, date comes when that's not happening anymore.

I don't feel I'm a step above anyone on this team. I'm just another link in the chain.

I don't like to get beat in anything!

I just feel rejuvenated in such a big way because of these race cars I get to drive.

I still think we have a great shot at this championship.

I think perception is important.

I want to force the other drivers to find a way past me.

I'll do a little prayer here and there if I feel the need to.

In California, especially Northern California, the fans really cheer for me.

My career in racing started at a very young age in California.

So much of my life is spent just focused on driving race cars.

The business model of racing is not a pretty one.
