Death is a weird thing.

Orange is my favorite color overall.

I've never wished I was anybody else.

In my eyes, Joe Gibbs could do no wrong.

I would give up barbecuing for a championship.

The whole cap came off.. must've been a recap.

The only way to be productive is to be positive.

I can't remember ever racing without any pressure.

I've always wanted to win a championship so badly.

I hate disappointing people and letting people down.

Some people ain't approachable, and some people are.

I look at my trophies and can't believe they're mine.

Being a dad is great. Every day there's something new.

You don't talk to Richard Petty unless he talks to you.

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

Oh yeah, I've been in therapy in and out of my whole life.

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.

In what other sport do you get a 15-second break every hour?

If I don't like the car, I don't get excited about racing it.

I felt like the track came to us, but then it went beyond us.

I wish Michael Schumacher would come try NASCAR. That'd be cool.

My first concert was Chicago and Moody Blues. I was 15 years old.

All these tracks you have memories at, all of them, Daytona included.

The Dodge Charger in the late '70s at Daytona, that looked like an awesome car.

Being a broadcaster, man, you just sort of paint from a blank canvas, in a way.

Regardless of how I act, somebody is going to criticize me one way or the other.

The winner ain't the one with the fastest car. It's the one who refuses to lose.

To me, I feel completely, um, utterly normal. I do everything everybody else does.

I don't know of any other driver on the track that doesn't get hot under the collar.

I was in therapy as a child and definitely think that therapy is a very useful tool.

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

Normally, on the rare chance that a celebrity comes to my property, I get real nervous.

I'm a big fan of music. I need to be listening to music most of the time during the day.

I'm not a huge fan of North Carolina barbecue. I like Memphis style barbecue and Kansas City.

I always liked 'The Last American Hero,' the one about Junior Johnson with Jeff Bridges in it.

I like 'Man v. Food,' 'Diners Drive-ins and Dives.' 'Restaurant Impossible' is pretty good, too.

I think that any time you share a secret, you're a little nervous about people's reaction to it.

Getting up in front and talking to the people who build my cars is the worst. I get so damn nervous.

I've done everything I ever thought I would do. I've done more than I thought I was capable of doing.

I wish I'd a got married sooner. I wish I'd a had kids sooner. I wish I'd a figured all that out sooner.

For the longest time, I was just real nervous about privacy and people prying into my personal business.

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've been with some great teams and had good wins and great success at certain periods of time in my career.

I'm just trying not to get run over. That's number one. Number two is you gotta catch the guy in front of ya.

I had a couple of chances to go inside the broadcast booth when I was out of the car in 2016 and loved it a lot.

Every sport has a 'guy' that personifies what the sport is about and almost creates what the sport is on his own.

I like to sit around the pool, listen to music, barbecue, grill, stuff like that. Just the guy next door, I guess.

I grew up around it. That was what my friends were listening to - some of my closest friends are big hip-hop fans.

There was this guy I used to work with, and he listened to Patsy Cline all the time, so I liked that after a while.
