I didn't start driving race cars because of the fame or the money, but the most rewarding factor is being complimented on what you do, and your fans are always the first to do that.

I've been with some great teams and had good wins and great success at certain periods of time in my career.

That's something that is important to me, that people know me and understand me.

Every sport has a 'guy' that personifies what the sport is about and almost creates what the sport is on his own.

You don't talk to Richard Petty unless he talks to you.

I don't know of any other driver on the track that doesn't get hot under the collar.

Regardless of how I act, somebody is going to criticize me one way or the other.

Orange is my favorite color overall.

If I don't like the car, I don't get excited about racing it.

I just Google whatever the hell I want to cook, and I try to cook it by what they tell me to do. If it's not good, I don't eat it.
