When I go out and race, I'm not trying to beat opponents, I'm trying to beat what I have done ... to beat myself, basically.

I don't go out drinking and stuff like that. My friends say 'Just have one drink, JD.' I say 'What's the point?' I'll go to a club and have a Red Bull, get my buzz. And the next day I feel cool.
