Allmendinger: She’s my dream come true
"It's right, but it's hectic right now. Wow, it's a crazy year, honestly. I haven't felt like that I've ever had time to rest since I guess I was let go.
"So there's a lot of happiness in life and there's also a lot of stress. But I wouldn't have it any other way honestly. I wouldn't change it. I wouldn't change the way I got let go, the way Forsythe called me, win the races, get engaged all through that time. It's something that I'll always remember the rest of my life. I know it was the best thing in my life.
"She makes me so happy off the racetrack. You know, for me with her, she's my dream come true. It's nice to have that. I think you ask anybody. I mean, it's funny, because when I was 21, I was asked about personal life towards racing. I said, doesn't matter. I said, there's racing and then there's your personal life. Those don't mix.
"As you get older, you realize they do mix because if you're not happy racing, your personal life's not good, nothing's good. You can leave your house every day and you're happy because you're married and you have a loving wife, you're getting to that point, you show up at the racetrack, you're going to be a happy person. It's going to make a difference."
