I'm a fan of NASCAR, in a certain kind of way.

I have a lot to learn about NASCAR. But I've learned if you have the right people in the right places doing the right things, you can be successful at whatever you do.

I've been fortunate Daytona is a place I've run better than anywhere else, and that's a big race. Maybe it has to do with attention and pressure and the drive to do well when a lot of people are watching.

NASCAR stepped up their safety concepts, and I think the drivers feel NASCAR is doing everything that can be done. So we are a little behind NASCAR in that respect. Someone in NASCAR realized there were certain things that could be done to make it safer. The same thing has to happen in football.

If NASCAR racing gets any more exciting, I may not be able to stand it.

NASCAR fans are very knowledgeable and very passionate.

Racing, for me and for most people that watch it, it's about personalities.

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

I don't think that American drivers going to NASCAR are taking the easy way out because as I said, the racing is amazing; it's just that it's easier to adapt to what you grow up with. American drivers grow up with NASCAR, they know NASCAR, and that's where they want to go.

Every NASCAR driver watches Formula One in the morning; they are well informed.
