I've been drag racing since I was 6 years old. I've not had a lot of success here and to win it when this hasn't been our best season is just great.

There was a lot on the line. We didn't want to talk about it, but we all knew.

This was an amazing, amazing weekend. I'd be lying if I said that the bonus didn't add pressure. My knees were knocking. I felt like I was ready to throw up. But I ate some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and I was all right.

Signing on with Robert Yates Racing, it's a dream come true. That (his touring series success) always helps. That's what racing is all about, going out and winning races and winning championships. I had always dreamed of this type of opportunity; I just didn't know if this dream was ever going to come true.

If last year is anything to go by our flat racing contenders will also have great success at home and abroad.

Because memory is time folding back on itself. To remember is to disengage from the present. In order to reach any kind of success in automobile racing, a driver must never remember.
