From a driver’s standpoint, I’m really going to miss Rockingham and that second date at Darlington. That’s from a driver’s standpoint, but from a business standpoint, it makes perfect sense.

I certainly wouldn’t have arm-wrestled him and made a fool of myself.

It’s going to be supported and it’s going to be a big event. I expect we’ll see the same finishes that we’ve seen here in the past.

It’s a sport that will reward you for being selfish.

I expected to be challenged coming into this season, … We knew that this was a new series and there were some newer things, but we were familiar with some things. We expected to struggle...

If we come into the race with the idea that we have to do everything we can to save fuel, there will be 36 cautions and fuel will be irrelevant,

If there were a track on the circuit where I wished we raced more it would be New Hampshire. The fact that I have always liked the track as a competitor does not hurt either....

This race track has been good to me,

It has become big business and when you look at next year’s schedule,

I’m just going to enjoy this week more than any other on the schedule, … Hopefully we can come out of here with a good finish and finish the season strong.

We made up our minds what we wanted out of auto racing, and we stayed with it. You look at where he’s at, and at the end of the day he was true to his...

It would be difficult for me to entertain thoughts of substituting for a year [on the Cup tour],

This season has really been a tale of two seasons for me,

Then all of a sudden things started going wrong, … It was a bit strange.

He’s still got a lot of Maine characteristics,
