That's what race fans love to see. That's what they bought this ticket for. That's what they're sitting in the grandstands rooting on their favorite driver for is to see him get out there, mix it up clean and bring it home just like we were, third and fourth.

The Daytona 500 is a big race, and Darlington is just as big of an event, and a lot of people get excited for it.

I've been fined probably more than any driver, and I've probably paid it out of my own pocket more than any driver.

Newman and I were friends. We were great teammates, and he needs to check his trophy case on that Daytona 500 trophy I helped him get years ago.

The coolest thing is when you come to a race ... when you come and see it live and you're there and you get the sound and you get the feel and then the smell,

We bought a ticket and got up in the stands. We got there fairly early and were sitting for what seemed like a half hour, 45 minutes, when all of sudden, here comes my truck and my car across the track. I told Darlene, 'I can't believe Big John (Boettcher) brought my car up here.' So I raced. That was my honeymoon.
