Just because I have two world records, everyone assumes that means automatically it is two guaranteed gold medals, but it isn't like that, and anything can happen in a race.
If you've led the championship after seven races you should be fighting for the title.
When you've got the Daytona 500 out there at stake and everything riding on the line, guys go for it, and the guys that go for it are the ones that are either going to win or they're going to wreck.
When Jimmie Johnson goes out early and finishes 35th, as he did Sunday, he can look at the cameras, lament about it being a tough day, and then say, 'We'll just try to get them next week at Darlington.'
Even though I had won in other categories, I didn't have any expectations when I came into F1. Qualifying fifth, finishing sixth? I didn't expect it.
If you are out in two races and someone else has a good couple of races, it could change. So all we do is try to get the optimum every time.
That's what race fans love to see. That's what they bought this ticket for. That's what they're sitting in the grandstands rooting on their favorite driver for is to see him get out there, mix it up clean and bring it home just like we were, third and fourth.
Race horses are like golfers, you're never sure how they're going to come out of the stalls. It's just - hopefully the horses come out of the race all right, just fit and ready to go again in the near future, but 3rd was good. It's paid for its hay.
I would put my money on both my drivers to win if it came down a streetfight.
It's probably 10% luck and 45-45 on the driver and the car. If you have a bad car, you're done.
No horse named Morbid ever won a race.
It was a battle all day with our M&M's Camry. I don't know why, we just didn't have what we needed. We never seemed to have the ticket we needed today. We got better all day, which was a positive and salvaged something out of nothing -- so all things considering it was okay. It's so late in the year, you're just running laps now and getting what you can get and seeing if you can win next weekend at Homestead to finish the year.
If you don't finish half of the races, you are not going to have a very good season.
We always see that the gaps in qualifying are surprisingly close but then in the race suddenly it is like a second or something.
No matter how good you are, how brave you are or anything, it comes down to that car so many times. Not every time, but so many times.
