Literally, I swear we could run 600 miles on this tire, I don't think we're going to need pit stops, the tires are going to be that durable.

I don't think it's fair. You learn by trial and error and you have to go out there and learn how to do it. And yes, you should learn between the specific points, which for me I've only tried to do it [in] what NASCAR has determined to be the OK zone.

Back then I could run two miles in 13 minutes. Now I don't think I can run two miles.

The guys are doing an unbelievable job, ... I didn't think the lap was all that good, but it held up. We've really been running well here as of late. Hopefully we can keep it going the rest of the year.

They're treated like prima donnas. But a lot of that is because pit stops are even more important now than they used to be. The cars are all so equal, pit stops are one of the few places you can gain an advantage.

Pit stops have become such a big, big part of our sport. I'm proud to see they're starting to get some of the recognition I think they deserve.
