came car good nice running solid took win
When you're the first pair, you know you're running a car that can run just as good or better than you, so you don't know what to expect. We came out and made a nice solid run and took the win light.
capable car good indy less points winning
We're less than 100 points out of first place going into Indy and that's where we're at right now. If we're a car that's capable of winning the championship, than we're in pretty good shape.
car consistency couple engine past performance pick worked
The same things we've done the past couple of seasons. We've worked on the engine and clutch. We'll try and pick up the performance and consistency of the car and go back out there.
absorb career greatest happened races won
You just try to absorb as much as you can from someone who has won as many races and championships as he has. Career wise, he's been the greatest thing that's happened to me.
both cared competing except fighting ninth nobody sponsored
Because we're sponsored by competing breweries there is always competition. When we were both fighting for ninth or 10th place, nobody really cared except the two companies.
car test
We're going to test with the same car, but we have a new car ready.
best biggest cars class eight pays race run year
That race pays more than Indianapolis, so you'd have to say it's the biggest race of the year and the eight best cars in the class are the only ones to run in it, ... So yeah, it's a very prestigious race.
car clutch drove engine equipment finish indy last light line next ran run smoked smoothly tires tomorrow trying
Everything went very smoothly today, ... On the first run, the car smoked the tires instantly. We made an adjustment, went back up and I drove it to 1,000-feet and it ran 4.64. We were trying some different equipment and on the last run they said to take it to the first light at the finish line and we ran 4.55. Tomorrow I think that we'll try some different things with the engine and clutch to make our car better for Indy next weekend.
cars front great lose merits moves saying sight stumble wait
I was saying that in April, 'Don't lose sight of them,' ... The cars that are in front of us are great cars. For them to stumble, they're not going to do it to many times. If we don't make moves on our merits ... we can't really wait on them to stumble because those are cars that don't stumble,
bad car picked round
When (Schumacher) had his hiccup, I thought that would be their only bad round of the weekend. Our car picked up (speed) every round.
basically cut next number points shot three
We're basically 80 points out of first place and after these next three races, if we're to have a shot at the title, we need to cut that number in half,
chance further highest hoping led move peaked towards
I think that '01 was different because we led and then were behind, and in 2002 and '03, I don't think we didn't lead. This year, the highest we've been (in the standings) is third. From my standpoint, you're hoping that you haven't peaked and that you'll peak towards the end of the season, and we'll have to if we're going to have any chance to move up further in the standings.
glad win
I'm so glad he was able to see me win this.
advantage daughter family missing says son steps takes words
The advantage is I have my family with me all the time. When your daughter takes her first steps or says her first words and your son is going through potty training, I'm not missing any of those things.
