I think the Ford Fusion is great. I like the way it drives. I’ve been very happy with the way my car feels in the racetrack. I like the new Fusion body. I can’t wait...

I’ve got a great race team and we’re all pulling together, … This is what we work hard for — we’re all going to fail together or we’re going to succeed together, and that’s the...

I love racing against Jeff Gordon and I love racing against Matt Kenseth . They’re both former champions. We’ve got a lot of great names that are on the outside looking in and a lot...

I just got on the brakes way too hard and locked it up. I could have just sat there and rode third and thought that was cool, but I want to give my guys a...

The Race to GED is making a difference in many Virginia communities and I am proud to be a part of it. By joining the Race to GED, working-age men and women can earn a...

Until somebody gets called in for a pass-through penalty or what have you, nobody really knows where the line is. I’m sure we’re going to push the line and push the envelope a lot come...

I like the way it drives, and I’ve been very happy with the way my car feels.

We’re going there (California) to win because we had so much fun there last year in Victory Lane. We think we’re taking a car that can win, or at least get in the top five.

The world’s not over with, … I’ve got some great sponsors on this race car that believe in us whether we made it or not. I got a great car owner in Robert Yates. We’ve...

Kevin’s done a great job, … He’s been the man behind the scenes for the last two years. Everybody’s been behind him the last two weeks and things are going really well.

I know he’s excited, and he’s probably a little nervous.

It’s no big secret how important these last three races are for our team in regards to making the Chase,

It’s ungodly, I think, the pressure we get as drivers, not only from our sponsors but our car owners. I think the Chase last year, people recognized how much recognition the top 10 guys got...

We had some great pit calls [Sunday]; the two-tire stop and then staying out at the end for track position,

I feel like going to Richmond there’s only one thing we can do and that’s go to try and win the race,

We could use a lot of information on Saturdays that we can use toward Sunday. We always have that thought in the back of our mind that if we can just help our Cup car...

My whole body is shaking. This is such a fast track and that’s not out of the gas much,

In our position, you just can’t mess up. (The pressure is) just amplified a little bit. But that’s part of racing. For my team, the word points is not even going to come out of...

It makes us want to work harder. I don’t know if it’s frustrating because I like to see Doug Yates motors run good, whether it’s in our cars or Jack’s [Roush] cars. It lets us...

We’re running sixth at Indy when I have a tire problem,

We just need to go up there and run the best way we can. I feel like the pressure is not on us. I think the guys that are only one or 11 points behind...

We’re looking forward to going back to Talladega this weekend, … I’m as confident about our chances at a restrictor plate race as I have been in a very long time. Whenever we go to...

I’ll look at film of today’s races tonight as a fan and a student. What is NASCAR letting them get away with? What are they not letting them get away with? What’s going on, so...

I think our first priority is making the chase and then when we get in the chase anything can happen,

My spotter said there was debris everywhere, so I was just slowly picking my way through there, and the next thing I know everyone is wrecking.

This is what we needed,

We can’t really worry about the points. We can’t really worry about who we’re racing and who we’re not racing. We just need to go up there and run the best way we can, whether...

I don’t know why a different winner has won here every year. It’s just whoever is hot at the right time.

When Newman ran that lap, I know Ryan Newman, he’s not out of that gas long. It’s pretty neat for him to go out and lay down a fast lap and then me kind of...

I’m sure we’re going to push the line and push the envelope a lot come Sunday.

This is a great feeling. We beat them all off pit road. Our guys worked so hard this off season and it paid off today.

We’re running good enough to make the Chase. If we get those situations back, we’re well in the chase right now with a little bit of a cushion.

Every sponsor wants to be a part of it, every driver, every team, but there are only so many pieces of the pie. If I don’t make the chase, will I feel like I failed...

Robert and Doug Yates put a lot of effort into coming down here to Talladega,

Until we can implement something on the cars with the bumpers or something to weaken the noses up a little bit, this is what we have to live with through Daytona.

I have 32 dogs. I’ve been raising dogs for about 15 years. I’m not married. I don’t have any kids. They’re kind of like my kids when I go home.

I’m just glad we saw the checkered flag, … We’ve had a lot of great cars here the last month and a half and haven’t been able to show it. So, to see the checkered...

To come in here [Sunday] and run like we did and get the finish we did was great for all of us.

I feel like the pressure is not on us, … I think the guys that are only one or 11 points behind or 10 points ahead of 10th place have more pressure.

I couldn’t stand here right now and tell you who has a better chance of winning, the guys who have won here before or a new guy that hasn’t won here. It’s just whoever is...

Any time you come to Charlotte, you’ve got to beat (Johnson). We’ve got one up on ’em right now.

I think it’s up to the drivers. We don’t know where the line is until somebody crosses it. Until somebody gets called in for a pass-through penalty, nobody really knows where the line is. I’m...

That is a very tough call where they’re sitting way above the track, and we’re in the cars running 190. We don’t know where the line is until somebody crosses it. I’m sure we’re going...

It’s fun, isn’t it? … There’s not enough pieces of pie. I love racing against Jeff Gordon and Matt Kenseth. We’ve got a lot of great names that are on the outside looking in, and...

Busch racing is so fun to me because there’s no points involved and I can go race and try to win, take chances. We might make it on gas, we might not.

The goal long term is to represent a lot of sponsors and drivers. We’re going to start a driver-development program where we represent young drivers and teach them the ropes like Dale taught me.

I guess he’s trying to keep his streak alive — he caused a big wreck here last year and he caused a big one again this year, … Maybe that’s his way of racing here...

In our sport, this is the big one. It’s what we think about all winter, and it’s the one race we spend months preparing for. They are all important, but the Daytona 500 is the...

He doesn’t mind telling you what’s on his mind and kind of the plan that he wants to do. I’m the same way, so, we’ve kind of hit it off pretty good.

It caught me off guard because no one called me and told me I was supposed to go. If they’d called, I would have gone. You have to take care of those who take care...
