I almost take it as a compliment that people will see me, and say things and be angry.
My husband said it best. He told me, ?Just because you're a race car driver doesn't mean you're supposed to die.' I think that's the truth of it.
I put more pressure on myself than anyone else ever could, but I probably want this one a little bit more just because it is closer to home. But, because it's getting towards the end of the season and I'm hoping to have a few good races to close out the season, I really want to do well this weekend. I feel like I'm learning more, that I am better prepared for the events as we go along. I really am looking at these next few events as laying the ground work for next season.
I hope it goes better. The only way to keep the interest level there is if it gets better and better. I can only do what I can do. I never get frustrated with expectations from everyone else. I just know I go out there and give everything I have, and if that's not good enough, then it's not good enough.
I never let it get in the way of racing. I was definitely always to my car on time.
I definitely felt a lot more comfortable today than I did when I was here last March. I think as a team we are pretty happy with the first day of testing.
I asked myself what is the next step and, logically, I know it is winning races.
I believe it reflects what's happening in all levels of our society. As these amazing success stories are detailed in the media, it will have an impact by helping create even greater opportunities for the next generation.
I just want to see everybody before I left for the year, say bye.
The first person I saw after the accident was Jaques and that wasn't a good thing. I confronted him. I told him how I felt. I was mad at him.
The Indy 500 was on (TV) every year and my dad used to watch it. I used to watch the start, maybe, then fall asleep. It was too long.
Say, you're not so bad. For a girl.
I'm really happy for Buddy. I know this has been a tough season for him. He really deserves this.
I don't know. I never heard of her.
