I feel as good as I?ve ever felt, as good as I felt in Little League or middle school.

It's not a racial issue. If it were a racial issue I would have kept them in private school which wasn't providing a decent education either so it has nothing to do with race.

Not knowing what happened in the past [in other sports] I think for any school to do that it?s an accomplishment.

A lot of our younger veterans went into the military so they could get benefits to go to school. They don't want to work. But, if someone's taking statistics, all they see is this person is not working.

I was fortunate to get that break. I knew that if I could just get in front and do that then I would have the pace to win. The car has been perfect all weekend.
