It would be hypocritical of me to use being female in some ways, and diss being female in other ways. It's part of the programme.

I just go where my heart tells me, where my gut tells me to go, where I'm enjoying my life the most, where I feel like I can have the most success. I've truly enjoyed my experience in NASCAR, to the point that I want to do it full time.

At the after-party of the Indy 500, I'm usually wearing jeans and a tank top.

One of the areas I have a little less confidence in is giving any kind of a speech.

I practice yoga at home to a TV show called 'Inhale,' taught by Steve Ross. I figured that if the people on the show could stretch that deep then I could too. I ended up pulling my hip flexor. But that's how I met my husband. Paul was the physical therapist my coach called to meet with me after hours.

No matter how good you are, how brave you are or anything, it comes down to that car so many times. Not every time, but so many times.
