That strategy of racing for the top five and racing for the win is where everybody wants to be.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My focus is definitely on the racing.
The competition in today's world of racing is so tough.
We're involved in racing because there's that element of competition. But there's that desire to push yourself beyond the natural comfort zone and the boundaries that are preset if you like, and to be better than the rest.
When you are fitted in a racing car and you race to win, second or third place is not enough.
Racing is a very selfish, self-centred, self-glorifying thing. My wife's life for 14 years was centered around me. It was all about me. It was all for my ego.
This is a business, and no one enters a race not to finish first. I wouldn't say I'm in it for the competition, but I'm certainly not just in it to coast along. I want to be the best I possibly can be.
Racing amuses me.
For me, the American Dream was to go racing; for others, it's to pursue whatever their goals may be.
I love racing and I love doing well.
I hate to admit that. I want to win every race, but I know that's not possible. To be in the top 25 is realistic if we have any luck this year. But anything to be in the chase or something like that is very unrealistic.
