I love coming here. I love racing here, and I love leaving here. Then it's behind me and the stress is gone. It's a tough track. Anything can happen.

I didn't get into racing to make friends.

I really enjoy the football season.

Driving will never be away from me - I can't just give it up. It's all I've ever done, and there's something about being in that car.

The air temperature dropping and the track cooling down helps. Also the air that runs through the engine is a lot cooler so it builds more power and more speed. There definitely was some advantage to going later. It's hard to really tell how much. We were 8th or 9th on the board during practice, and then qualified 3rd. So I think it helped some.

It's a hard spot to find, but when you do it great things happen. It's typically short-lived. You've got to enjoy it while it's there. You can never plan on when it's going to come or go. You just try to enjoy the days while it's there.
