Famous quotes by Jeff Gordon:
"So much of my life is spent just focused on driving race cars."
"I want to force the other drivers to find a way past me."
"I just want to help Jimmie win the championship."
"When you win four championships, you create a lot of expectations that you are supposed to be in the mix every year. This year we fell short, but no matter what people believe or what the perception is, we are doing everything possible to get back in there next season."
"I thought there was no way Jimmie could win the race, or I wouldn't have left. All of a sudden I hear he wins, and I go, 'You've got to be kidding me?' That was just a phenomenal win."
"The way the championship points are structured, winning is not the most important thing. It pays the most points, but a top-five these days is almost as good as a win."
"It's been awhile. What a great, great feeling."
"It's been a while since my last win. What a great, great feeling."
"It was a very rewarding race and gratifying. I could get up to third or fourth but couldn't make those passes to get the rest of the way. Once we did get up front, the car was flying. To be able to drive from 15th all the way to third or fourth, I knew we had a good one. Once we got out front, we were awesome. I knew we were in great shape."
"I don't feel I'm a step above anyone on this team. I'm just another link in the chain."
