You have to take everything as it comes.
jobs weekend years
No matter if I have a job for one weekend or for the next year, or three years, I'm going to drive the same way. That's the way I am. I'm going to give it everything I have.
opportunity
You have to take the hits as they come and you have to take the opportunities.
country needs talent
There's a ton of talent in this country. Some just need to be given a shot.
people focus important
I'm not promoting myself as the next great American driver, as some people are describing me. If that's what people want to call me, fine. But I've got more important things to focus on.
next rough
They're having a rough time, but they'll get better next year.
adjusting altitude car change effect fun great help high honda job luck nice peak power thin track
Pikes Peak is a nice track and it is a lot of fun to drive. The high altitude does have an effect on the power of the engine, but Honda does a great job of adjusting to the thin air. We have some new things on the car that I think will help make us more competitive. I'd like to see our luck change at Pikes Peak.

Some guys (in the IRL) are big on chasing the camera, ... and those guys are a little bit upset (over the media frenzy surrounding her).

She'll never see a pack tighter than what she'll see here. And it's at night, so it might be a little different. There's a steep learning curve.

In some ways, all of their money and effort for all of us paid off for them. It should work that way for everybody. Everyone who's come through that organization has made it somewhere because of them.

I don't see them coming back together anytime soon. A bunch of people have tried to do it and it hasn't happened, so I don't see it happening anytime soon.
additional best builder busy car confidence crowded definitely flat good helps last luck pick race team tested throughout trick week
The car was flat out all the way around, and that is all it had. It definitely helps that we tested here last week and the team was able to pick up some additional information. I think we have a good racecar, too. This is a trick track, and the race is always crowded and busy throughout the 200 laps. We haven't had the best luck this year, but the Sonoma race was a confidence builder for the No. 15 Argent Mortgage/Pioneer team.
good luck rebound
The luck we've had has been kind of unexplainable, but this was a good rebound for us.
