When you go home and you're slow, there's nothing you can do. But when you go home under these conditions it's kind of tough.

I know a lot of people say that Iowa is in the middle of nowhere, but you know what, we get such a great crowd and they're so enthusiastic. As a driver you could put me in paradise, but if there's nobody in the grandstands then it's not good racing.

You need to learn how to f***ing count.
