I always have fun. I don't really go without fun too long.

I don't like going on stage. Stages mean "nervous" for me.

I don't mind at all being approached when I'm 10 or more feet away from the car. If I'm anywhere away from the car, I'm fine. That's completely expected. But when I'm next to the car or within 10 feet of it, I'm thinking about that or working in that direction. And that's just something I'd rather be able to work on than be interrupted, really, by anybody.

I don't think I can adequately express my feelings about the car on national radio, but hopefully we'll get better and I'll be happier later on.

I don't want to argue with my wife about her car - or my driving.

If my wheel comes off and I hit the fence real hard, I get to whack every damn one of you with a hammer.

I mean, I've always felt like a lot of people's misconceptions of me have to do with how I grew up. I grew up poor, and I grew up rich. I think some people who have never met me have a misconception that when I was living with my father when he was successful, that I was somehow adversely affected by his success or the money he had and was making at the time.

It's a never ending battle of making your cars better and also trying to be better yourself.

It's just really hard to work and get better, building and planning for the future with the new Monte Carlo and keeping the race team intact and keeping them healthy.

I've already done enough to have earned 'good driver,' so if I can be known as a great person and a good driver, that's better than only being a great driver.

I wish Michael Schumacher would come try NASCAR. That'd be cool. With everything he's done and how professional he's remained through it all, I think he's an awesome role model as far as work ethic and tenacity. He just seems like he knows how to get it done.

I woke up this morning, and I still don't believe I won the Daytona 500.

That strategy of racing for the top five and racing for the win is where everybody wants to be.

The atmosphere seems to change once the sun goes down and the race fans get to watch a good show.

The car drives really really good so far. No changes on the next pit stop. It's great, I can hold it down right along the bottom here in the corners I'm just ridin' around out here just waiting until later to make a move

Tried on daddy's 1979 rookie firesuit a while back. Smelled every bit of 36 years old.

Two of my favorite things are my steering wheel and my Remington rifle.

When he was young, I told Dale Jr. that hunting and racing are a lot alike. Holding that steering wheel and holding that rifle both mean you better be responsible.

Winning isn't everything to me, but it's a close second. Losing isn't something that I can just brush off and fake a smile to hide my frustration. It's that will and determination that I hope will get me where I want to go.

You can't let one bad moment spoil a bunch of good ones.

You've got to be closer to the edge than ever to win. That means sometimes you go over the edge, and I don't mean driving, either.

You win some, lose some, and wreck some.

You would not believe how loose this car is for two laps after the green. Then, just like that, it's back to how it was before. But, those first few laps, damn, it's loose! JUNIOR NO LIKEY!
