Quotes from Jeff Gordon

When you've got the Daytona 500 out there at stake and everything riding on the line, guys go for it, and the guys that go for it are the ones that are either going to win or they're going to wreck.

You know, sometimes guys work with other guys because they're buddies off the track, not necessarily because they're buddies on the track. Sometimes you've got that going against you or for you.

I think we have gotten through those brain dead moments on both our parts. Now we just love to race one another hard and clean.

You may be leading, then you might be at the back of the pack trying to work your way up. It's just a constant reminder not to give up, and to know that God, in my mind, is really in control.

You are going to make choices and decisions that sometimes aren't going to always work in your favor and they are going to upset some other people.

I want to force the other drivers to find a way past me.
