I get to do the Dakar Rally. I get to do the Daytona 500. I get to do the Indy 500. I'm very fortunate to get to do these things.

I love the Dakar Rally, the Baja stuff.

NASCAR, there's nothing wrong with it, it's very competitive, but the specs are very tight on tolerances.

You don't come around to the pit lane every mile; when you leave on a rally, you're gone for 500 miles in certain stages. You've got to work on your own car and fix it. It's a logistical nightmare, and it really challenges me.

We love to race in the sand dunes in Glamis.

I have a very competent case of ADD.

I've built my business around the No. 7.

This is a highly competitive sport, and we are all very passionate when we are on the track.

I've been fortunate enough that in every form of motor sports in which I've competed, we've won.

There are two really good feelings. The first is when you land sponsorships that allow you to be competitive. Then to win a race is the icing on the cake that you've made with the sponsorship.

We don't make the rules. We just play by them.

We work in a shop about the size of the paint department of Richard Childress Racing.

Do you think I really care what Jeff Gordon says?

The lighter the car, the faster it goes.

I was pretty immature, and some of it came from just wanting to have fun.

There's only eight cars that make the Daytona 500.

The next Rick Hendrick, Richard Childress, or Joe Gibbs has to come from somewhere.

I like the competition that Nextel Cup gives us. The schedule is difficult. But this is something I want to do for sure.

We've dreamed of growing our company into something like Richard Childress has. We're working really hard, and we're getting more competitive. Hopefully, that becomes a reality.

I am the driver. I am the owner, kind of the sponsor, except for our sponsorship with Dodge.

When you're out of gas, you don't have many options.
