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.
102
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.
107
I've been fortunate enough that in every form of motor sports in which I've competed, we've won.
108
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.
109
I learned at a young age that we were going to have to be personable, going to have to be marketable, and going to have to be creative in order to have a race team.

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

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.
115
The next Rick Hendrick, Richard Childress, or Joe Gibbs has to come from somewhere.
116
I like the competition that Nextel Cup gives us. The schedule is difficult. But this is something I want to do for sure.
117
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.
118
I am the driver. I am the owner, kind of the sponsor, except for our sponsorship with Dodge.
119
When you're out of gas, you don't have many options.
120
We don't want to fight NASCAR.
121
We've got a great race team.

Unfortunately, I've got airplanes that I can't even afford to use today that are sitting there. I'm still paying insurance on them; I'm still paying payments.
123
We haven't made money in NASCAR in a long time.
124
I would like to run about 15 stock car races a year. That would be my goal.

You better be on the gas every day.
126
We don't make the rules. We just play by them.
201
I've run 1,000 miles in Baja, and that's pretty much nonstop.
202
The Baja is a survival race, and there is no break, but you're not up on the wheel all day in the Baja like you are in Winston Cup or at Indy.
203
The 600 is survival. It's NASCAR's longest race.
204
If anything on the car is going to blow up or fall off, you usually see it happen in the 600. But it's also survival for the drivers because it's such a long race and it's usually hot at Charlotte. It's hard for drivers to feel good for the whole 400 laps.
205
It's not about today or tomorrow; it's about building a company that can build the best race cars in the world.
206
I told Monster the other day, I'm a racer's racer. This is what I truly love to do.
207
I dreamed to be able to have these opportunities as a young kid. I've had the opportunity to run the best cars in the world.
208
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.
209
With experience also comes the understanding that you have to beat the rally before you can beat the competition.
210
I like Mexico a lot.
211
Isn't it great to go race for 16 days straight?
212
I love the Baja 1000.
213
Racing is full of 'what-ifs.' Like anything else in life, you learn from your mistakes and move on to the next challenge.
214
Being quickest in practice is nice. It builds a lot of confidence overnight.
215
The guy that can be the trimmest for four laps and keep a good average speed is the guy that's going to be on the pole.
