Jimmie Johnson Quotes on Moderation & Temperance (3 Quotes)

I was working with Brian throughout the race. His car was probably the only one that was really loose out there. That thing was dead sideways at times. Once I got to his outside, I saw the outside lane coming. I moved up to block it and got ahead of him right when the caution came out.

I was slowly catching Matt before that last caution. I think we could have got up there to race with him but, if it stayed green, I believe Matt had it in the bag. Then we got that last yellow. I thought long and hard about what I would do if I was protecting the lead. I knew I wanted to be on the outside. I faked kind of to the bottom and he kind of bought it.

I got into some situations last year, and I just felt in my heart that maybe I was being too aggressive. This year I really just stayed cautious. I didn't want to be aggressive. I didn't want to block anybody. And then at the end, I got really aggressive and raced for the win.
