...NASCAR standings this year. Hendrick has more resources than any other team, and has been called the New York Yankees of racing. Do you feel you get the same kind of resentment that many fans feel towards the "big guys" like the Yankees who are able to outspend the competition? Not necessarily. Our fan base really respects what we've done as an organization. They respect Rick Hendrick. If [resentment] is a problem, we love it. It means we're doing our jobs...

Maybe our abundant resources have spoiled us into thinking that affluence is more attractive than health. Rather than maintain a physique that could outrun a lion, we showcase our ability to outspend a monarch. And our tokens of wealth—expensive, designer clothes—are best displayed on skinny, sickly-looking bodies. I couldn’t blame Europeans for looking wealthy. But nothing changes the fact that you’d have to be crazy to want to sleep with a coat...
