I'm pretty much a realist, but we are going to give it our best. I never thought I'd be here. We're going to have a blast.

We were really comfortable with the car until that incident, ... We're ready to celebrate at Talladega.

It's hard to believe we won that race. The car was good in the end, but it took us all day to get the adjustments right. On the dirt, you only pit once, but we pitted three times today to get the car where it needed to be to win the race. What a great day for the Advance Auto Parts-Pork Ford team. I had a ball racing with Justin (Allgaier) and Bob (Strait) there at the end.

I never thought that we would ever be able to win one championship much less seven, ... (Katona) was a legend. To think that we beat his record is very, very special. I'm very humbled by the experience. It's a pretty neat deal.

Ryan Newman has already told me he's going to knock the crap out of me on the track.

I think the track is the prefect size and shape for our cars and the fans are going to see a great show.

He was a grizzly, old veteran, just a real hard-nosed racer, ... He would run all day long, and then all of a sudden with 20 (laps) to go, you would look up and he would be leading the race.

The most important thing that we did this year was just be really, really consistent, ... We had a good, strong season. The car ran good almost every single race we went to. When we did have problems, we were able to overcome them and keep the car on the racetrack.

It's just amazing we're able to continue like that.
