Carl Edwards asked how he handles his intensity on the track:

"The hard part for me is not being passionate or focused in the race car. It's stopping that once I get out of the race car. ... That's something I've had to work on, balancing competitive life with regular life and this year, I think, was pretty interesting. I learned a little bit about myself. It seemed like the more that was going on or the more pressure, it made the racing easier for me, in a way. I think that's why the end of our season was so great and so strong ... we had all these things going on, and once I got in the car, I felt like I could let it out, and that was a really good feeling." -- Florida Times-Union
