Wisdom is knowing what to do next; Skill is knowing how to do it, and Virtue is doing it.

There is no real excellence in all of this world which can be separated from right living.

The world stands aside to let anyone pass who knows where he is going.

When a dog barks at the moon, then it is religion; but when he barks at strangers, it is patriotism!

The world turns aside to let any man pass who knows whither he is going.

That was one of the selling points. No promises were made, but if I do my job behind the wheel this year, the future is bright.

No one is really miserable who has not tried to cheapen life.

Whatever the format, we need it. We've had some close championship battles, but we would have 10 guys in it instead of two or three. A Chase would be so much fun.

Through the year, you only have one shot at Daytona. Your career is never complete unless you won at Daytona. It is weird that we haven't been then in a year, but man, when I drive though the tunnel in January, it's like magic.

Be life long or short, its completeness depends on what it was lived for.

Not only am I going to Daytona to test to get ready, for me I am going to get acclimated with a new crew chief. This will be our first time to work together. Been to the shop, but it will be the first at the racetrack.

They're making them more like the trucks. The trucks push a giant hole in the air, and we can really race each other. That's what NASCAR wants with this car.

This could have been much worse.

We found that a slick truck can also be on the edge in the draft. We found last year that we want a fair amount of drag on it because during the race, drag means grip. There's kind of a fine line. I think you want to build a truck that has a little bit of drag.

Last year, when you went into Turn 3 and 1, if you had a truck on the right side of you, there was a sweet spot. When you turned, you had to really be careful.

I don't like my truck right now. I had a difficult practice today. Dave McCarty and the guys are making adjustments to make it better. I'm sure we'll be fine for the race once we are finished tweaking some things. Just right now the truck is not doing what we need it to do. I have confidence McCarty can get the No. 75 Silverado where we need to be on race day.
