I wanted to make it meaningful. It's empowering to think of someone else.

I think, first, it's important not to bite the hand that feeds you.

I knew if I ever did something like this, I wanted to be able to give something back. The best way I can say thanks is to donate my money to help somebody else.

I started to get goose bumps and a little misty-eyed. I guess it's starting to sink in that this is it. This is my last race.

We train our whole lives for this. It gets tense around here.

I feel the same as I felt in the 500. I didn't feel an enormous pressure to perform, I didn't feel like the weight of expectations are on me.
