Now they've got competition and they are not talking about winning. I feel like they want to sit around and hold hands and sing. I want to win.

Back then there were 50-75 cars just trying to make the field. And they were the best drivers in the world. I remember thinking; I can’t believe this. I can't believe I got a spot.
