Two of my favorite things are my steering wheel and my Remington rifle.

People are going to get older and young guys are going to come in and race and get more competitive.

Second place is just the first place loser.

That strategy of racing for the top five and racing for the win is where everybody wants to be.

That's what we're striving for, making us a contender in every race.

The atmosphere seems to change once the sun goes down and the race fans get to watch a good show.

Maybe now that we have the same sponsor in Remington we can spend some time together outdoors.

To come in and win three races already this year and maybe set a record by winning four is pretty unique. But guys like Mark Martin, Rusty Wallace and these guys are not wanting that to happen.

If I was 30th in points and not making races and not being competitive in races, I could understand them saying I'm over-the-hill or I'm ready to quit or whatever.

When he was young, I told Dale Jr. that hunting and racing are a lot alike. Holding that steering wheel and holding that rifle both mean you better be responsible.

With 20 top-10 finishes, I feel we're on the right path.

You've got to be closer to the edge than ever to win. That means sometimes you go over the edge, and I don't mean driving, either.

The thing about it is, all those races we lost, we won this race together. We won it as a team.

I want to be up front racing.

But I'm good to go through my contract with Childress, and my determination is to win races and try to win that other championship.
