Regarding KERS, I have mixed feelings. As I am a tall and relatively heavy person I have disadvantages regarding the weight and consequently the weight distribution of the car. But on the other hand KERS could be a big advantage because of the boost.

The more experience you have, the more confidence you get and the more ready you are.

I will always give 100 percent and I am looking to finish in the points on a consistent basis.

Obviously when you join a team everything is new and you have to get to know the people and how they operate.

My aim, as always, is to deliver a good and consistent performance across the year. That is the goal for any driver.

I have never been ready 100% even when I was racing in my gold times.

I know my value. I don't have to look at lap times.

I think it's impossible to drive a Formula One car with one hand.

When you are a race driver you see things in the race driver mode.

Hungary we know it's a difficult track, it's one of the most physical tracks.

NAPA has been with me from winning two Daytona 500s, to missing races with a new start-up team, and back to victory lane again. The relationship grew far past that of just a sponsor, but more of a partner and a friend.

There's been bumps in the road and serious challenges along the way, but my love for NASCAR and my zest for life is what's most important to me.

When there are challenges like there were up to and after Daytona in 2001, you remind yourself it will one day make sense why everything happens the way it does. You may not figure it out now on this earth, but in heaven, it will all make sense.

You don't win NASCAR races without ability.

I won the Daytona 500. I won these races twice. I knew I didn't need anything cheating on my part.

When 'Michael Waltrip Racing' and 'competitive juices' are discussed, naturally the subject of jet fuel arises. I'm here to tell you that I can be competitive without jet fuel; that stuff tastes awful.

If you look at my career statistics, it's not pretty.

Charlotte is a place I always enjoy racing.

As a driver, you always want to win every race, but as a car owner you know that isn't very realistic.

You can always figure if it's a Busch race then I'm going to be at the front.

You have to think that if you're starting first instead of 31st you've got a better chance to win.

I'm used to being judged. I know what that feels like.

The Daytona 500 is what it is because of the tradition and history of this great event. People have been coming out in February since 1950 to watch this great race. It would be hard to ever change that.

My life is consumed by racing.
