Can you talk about what kind of role Dale Junior has played in your development as a driver and as a person?

A: (Brad) Well the biggest thing is the opportunities he’s given me to work with good people. And Dale has his own commitments which seem to be a lengthy list, and he doesn’t have a lot of time to be with me and to explain things with me. But, you know, there are certainly times where he’ll help me out.

Going to Daytona he helped me out a tremendous amount. Watching footage from Talladega and showing me what I did wrong and what I did right and trying to explain that to me. So it’s just small things like that that seem to help me out a lot.

Then there’s some of the other behind the scenes stuff. How to deal with the huge amount of responsibilities that a driver has. Not only to his team and to his sponsor.

Do you have any updates on your talks?

“Not yet. I’m getting close, that’s the good thing. I feel like I’m on the back side of the hill of getting everything done. We’re a lot closer than we were.”

Have you gotten your release from Joe Gibbs Racing and have you asked for it?

“No, I have not asked for it.”

I’m naturally a red head. Well, it’s brown with red in it but I usually dye it so that it’s just brown. Sometimes I’ll go red, but that’s only if I’m in an quirky mood.

Enchanted’s Amy Adams on the other hand, says that going red has changed her life.

“I’ve had red hair for the past four years. Before that I never thought of being anything but blonde. There was a definite shift in my life when I decided to go red. When you’re blonde, people associate it all with being flirty. With red hair, suddenly you’re quirky.”

Yep, red hair is awesome!

“Don’t smack me on the helmet. You smack me on the helmet and I’m going to punch you in the face, bottom line. So I’d like for him (Kyle Petty) to call me sometime this week, before next week.” - Denny Hamlin on his accident with Kyle Petty in Dover.
