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.

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

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.

Places where folks can run for the weekend, I think we're benefiting from that. We like to travel. If we can't afford to go the long distances, we'll find something a little closer. I think the future for tourism is still bright.

We can strengthen ourselves to be a team that's resting on Wild Card weekend and earning a home playoff game to advance. If you do that, that's a significant step toward the ultimate goal of winning a world championship. It doesn't guarantee anything, but to me, that's next on the wish list.

I'm in this really cool place in my career, where the stage I'm on that night, whether it's the Paisley tour, the CMT tour, or a bar with 10 people in it, it is the most important show I've ever played in my life. I go to the ends of my imagination to do something that's unforgettable every night.
