I have been around this long enough to know that there are no givens in this particular sport. There are too many things that can go wrong. There are too many things that can change.
-
I will not back down to anyone.
-
The big things are the things that you don't expect.
-
Being a good race car driver is one thing, but to take all the time commitments and all the pushing and pulling and learning when to say no - because you need to rest or focus on the things you need to do to make the car go fast - those are the hardest things to learn and the most distracting things to learn.
-
The day that Chase Elliott wins his first race is gonna be one of the best moments in NASCAR racing because of the fact of how impactful it will be for all of us in NASCAR racing.
-
You hear too many guys talk about retiring too soon.
-
When we're outside of the racetrack and in our team meetings, you need to communicate with your teammates and do what's best for the company in order to give the people that work there the best opportunity to succeed and maximize the potential of their job.
-
I like football, baseball, basketball, golf, racing.
-
If you make the schedule exciting and make the events exciting, that is what guarantees you the people to come back if they had a good time.
-
I'm a pretty intense person at the racetrack, but when I'm not thinking about my race car or in the garage doing my job, I'm pretty laid back, and I like to be organized and do normal things.
-
I want to thank everybody at Stewart-Haas Racing, everybody at Ford for just continuing to put the effort they put into these cars.
-
There's no bigger thrill than beating the guy you're not supposed to beat or winning a race you're not supposed to win.
-
How many times have you had a crappy Super Bowl, but everybody goes to the Super Bowl because it's an event.
-
Even if you only have 30- or 40,000 people in the grandstands, if you put on a good event for TV and do the things that it takes to have a unique event, that is really what people want. They want unique things.
-
I don't ever leave my garage stall during practice. I don't want to know what other people are doing. I don't look at the scoreboard.
-
The night I won my first Late Model race was the night my mom moved everything out of the house... There was a lot of situations like that.
-
People like things that change. They don't like stagnant things.
-
Racing's my life.
-
One thing I can't stand is when people - not our team, but other people - don't respond. Everybody can email, everybody can text... using an email auto-response is not the world we live in.
-
We have a great group of people and sponsors around us, and you don't want to send them out as outcasts because you have this newfound success and this new tool of things you can sell.
-
I think some of that comes with age, with life in general, to try to keep yourself as healthy as possible.
-
I mowed yards with my grandpa at $10 a pop for awhile. I painted numbers on curbs. I cleaned swimming pools. I usually did all of that over the summer, and then I'd continue to do the yard part during the year as I went to school.
-
Sometimes you've got to keep your mouth shut.
-
I love racing cars, and we have to have great competitors to make the diverse fan base have people to root for, and some people like calm, shy Ryan Blaney that knows a lot about the sport, or Chase Elliott, who's been around racing and has those deep ties to NASCAR and the southern roots of our sport. Those guys are all important.
