This about sums it up..

"When I'm up in the lanes, I'm not there to BS with people," he said. "I don't want to be their friend. I'm almost always one of the last people to get there, and it's not some psychological game I'm playing. It's because I stay at my trailer, poring over my logbook, trying to think of every last thing I might not have thought of, until the last possible second. I see people roll out of their pit area with their dial already on the window and think, 'You're kidding, right? How can you know already?' I've pulled into the water with by logbook still sitting on my lap. It's like, 'Okay, I'm holding two, the wind is worth one, the temperature is worth another two…' I'm always game-planning right up to the last second."
