Dale Earnhardt Jr.

I don't like going on stage. Stages mean 'nervous' for me.

You form pretty strong opinions about the guys you compete against. You're all very competitive; you're all very selfish. So it's easy to drum up some strong opinions in a second's notice, like, 'Argh! This guy!'

Being a dad is great. Every day there's something new.

Sometimes, you know, you - drivers are worried about being misdiagnosed and maybe missing a race when they don't really have a concussion. But you can never take the risk there. It's just too dangerous to layer concussions.

When you're around a sport awhile and sort of get to know everybody, you start to appreciate people more instead of just seeing a number and a sponsor and a competitor.

I always liked 'The Last American Hero,' the one about Junior Johnson with Jeff Bridges in it.

I am proud of the Earnhardt name, but it don't stand alone. You know, it's part of the sport, with all those other historic people that have been a part of it, and you don't want people to forget the part you had in it and what you did and the contributions you made and the sacrifices you made.

I don't know of any other driver on the track that doesn't get hot under the collar.

I hate disappointing people and letting people down.

Normally, on the rare chance that a celebrity comes to my property, I get real nervous.

I can't remember ever racing without any pressure.

I was in therapy as a child and definitely think that therapy is a very useful tool.
