"I’m a big believer in everybody being themselves. If not doing a swimsuit calendar is yourself, that’s great. But if doing a swimsuit calendar is yourself, then you should be able to do it. What I do outside the car adds to who I am and expresses a different side of me."

"In the Lamborghini I have to avoid certain roads because of pot holes, and there’s nowhere to put my drink, no cup holder. And I’m not going to lie, it looks pretentious. I used to think it was cool to, like, drive it to dinner. Now? Like I really need to be looked at any more."

"I just go where my heart tells me, where my gut tells me to go, where I’m enjoying my life the most, where I feel like I can have the most success. I’ve truly enjoyed my experience in NASCAR, to the point that I want to do it full time."

"On Memorial Day, I was out floating on Lake Norman and came across Denny Hamlin. We struck up a conversation, and one of the first things we were talking about was how much it helped him when he started racing the Cup car and how much it helped his Nationwide program."

"The commitments, schedule and sponsor appearances don’t change. It gets more busy, because you get more popular, and the more popular you are, it actually gets more busy. They’re like, ‘Yeah, let’s use her, she’s hot right now. Let’s do a shoot!’"

"I think that Indy is special to me. The greater the distance between the last time I drove an Indy car and the next time, I wouldn’t like that to be too big."
