I may drive in a few races next year if someone needs a substitute driver ... (but) if I were never to drive again, I have had a great career.

The car drove extremely well and the track has got a lot of grip, ... It's been a long time since I've come to Martinsville and had a car that could go like this one.

The guys did a great job in the pits, ... We just sort of tried to stay out of trouble. We've wrecked out of this race like the last three times. It's usually been a good race track for us and we were lucky we got a good qualifying spot and just tried to keep our nose clean all night.

...the trick to the whole thing is to make sure that you have track position at the three-quarters mark, not closer to the end.

I just kind of took all the extra skin and taped it to my eyelid and taped it up to my forehead and put my helmet on and went on.

I really enjoy racing for the Wood Brothers - they are great people,

I have not taken a vacation or sick day in nearly 30 years of racing, and with my contract with the Wood Brothers expiring at the end of this race season, it seemed like the perfect time to step back and take a break.

If I were to decide never to drive again, I have had a great career,

I'm really sort of surprised at this run because we spent 98 percent of our time yesterday working on race setup and I got really comfortable with what I had there, ... Within the rules structure they allow you to do a few things for qualifying and the guys took advantage of that.

THEY LOOK THE SAME, BUT THEY DON'T DRIVE THE SAME.
