When I woke up Sunday morning at the Open and stepped outside and felt the wind and rain in my face, I knew I had an excellent chance to win if I just took my time and trusted myself.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I wanted to win, even in practice.
The reason why I love to win is because I don't have to go through that feeling of losing. It's those times where I lose that feeling that will stick with me.
I remember in particular my first victory when I achieved a very fast time in what were perfect conditions but since then the wind has always been a factor against me.
It feels great to win and I can't be more thankful to the Lord for walking me through every step. God was and is so faithful every time.
I slept like a baby the night before, because I knew that I'd win the next day.
I felt very calm and controlled. That's what you've got to feel and do when it's time to win. It's easy to say, hard to do.
I always tried to win. I was as competitive as I am today.
The pressure began to mount as I kept winning every time and people were anxious to see if I could be beaten.
I never felt that I didn't have a chance to win.
I woke up this morning, and I still don't believe I won the Daytona 500.
