“If anything during the playoffs, I try to golf more. I'll just do anyt...” — Denny Hamlin Quote

If anything during the playoffs, I try to golf more. I'll just do anything I can to be normal. I don't really designate any time differently or try to weed out distractions.

I've taken quite a few risks on the ski slopes. Like if I'm a green-level skier, I'm going on the blacks just because it's hard and a challenge. That's probably not the best idea.

There's no right way to do it or wrong way to do it - that's why so many drivers have been caught in wrecks at Talladega.

I'd say most qualifying sessions in the Chase are about the only times I get nervous, because qualifying is so important. A lot of times, when you're fast in practice, you have to live back up to those expectations in actual qualifying.

In the professional sporting world there are a number of distractions that can take you away from some of those smaller things that are really important and keep you grounded.

I'm very aware how many distractions the reader has in life today, how many good reasons there are to put the book down.

I feel like I'd invested so much in the physical side of my life: running marathons - I brought a SEAL into my house - I have a trainer. But I've invested very little on the inner work, and in a world of distractions, I felt like to have the whole picture, I really had to spend a little time alone and work on being present.

I feel attention sometimes in games, from fans and other players. But I just try to play the way I always have, remain focused, and don't let distractions get in my way.
