I Feel Like I'm Getting To Be

I Thought Long And Hard About My Future This Past Year And During The Offseason, And I've Decided 2015 Will Be The Last Time I Compete For A Championship.

I Got On A Plane. I Remember When I Got On The Plane, The Talk Was, You Know, They're Checking Dale Out, That It's More Than What It Looked Like, But I Still Didn't Think It Would Be Anything More Than Maybe Some Injuries. Then I Landed At Home And My Phone Just Lit Up. I Started Getting Those Messages. I Mean, I Was Blown Away. I Couldn't Believe It. I Was Just In Shock.

As Fast As We're Going These Days, Especially Because Of The Aerodynamics, We're All Concerned About Abusing Tires. It's So Fast That You're Afraid Of What You're Going To Do To The Tires.

I Think Fear Is What Keeps Us From Going Over The Edge. I Mean, As A Race Car Driver, I Don't Think What Makes A Good Race Car Driver Is A Fearless Person. I Think It's Somebody That Is Comfortable Being Behind The Wheel Of Something That's Somewhat Out Of Control.

No Matter What Happens, I'll Always Say That I've Had A Wonderful Life.
