Kenseth on hopes for his return to NASCAR: “I hope to be competitive…it’s going to be a steep learning curve…I’m already a little anxious about that first lap at Darlington. But my goals aren’t any different than they used to be…be the best I can be, go out and hope you can put everything together and figure out how to win.”

Kenseth on mental and physical training: “There are a lot more tools today than there were 10 years ago, if you can’t be in the car. I don’t think anything replaces being in the car and working with the team…talking to my teammate Kurt (Busch) a lot, try to be as mentally prepared as you can, changing up some of the physical training as well…but you know, you can never give away trade secrets (laughing).”

Earnhardt Jr.: “I’ve rode bikes with Matt. Biking is a very social activity – but not so much with Matt because he’s always about 100 yards ahead of me (laughing)! I can’t even carry a conversation on with the guy…he’s got to get his workout in.”
