I'm proud of them, proud of the whole team. Dan, I'm really proud of. He had some problems at the smaller ovals last year. He's really delivering. I'm very proud of Tony, also. Don't count them out for a race.

I just felt so bad for him his year has been that way. He's had such strong cars in every race. I think he's probably had the strongest car over the year, but he's had the worst luck over the year. I just felt so bad when I saw that thing stall. I couldn't believe it.

As a driver, he has developed much quicker than I think anybody expected, and that is what really made this possible.
And when we go from braking to accelerating to cornering, the G-forces we pull are really demanding on our bodies. We definitely have to be in top shape.
It's the best thing that's happened to this series in a long, long time. She's a great-looking girl, and she's good at what she does. ... Whatever attention it brings to the series is good for us.
It's given everybody a new motivation to prove that it wasn't just the Honda engine. Now that everybody is on equal footing, I know everybody on this team wants to go out there and prove that we can do what we did the last two years.
It's just an incredible year, a dream season for us. Hopefully we'll never wake up from this dream.
Dan drove like a champion, again, as he has all year long.
I've led so many laps before, but it took me six years to understand that it's the last one that counts.
It was always weird racing against my father. He was a living legend. It's going to be weird for Marco. And weird, again, for me, too. But it will be a different weird from before.
If CART continues on, it's just going to drag all of open-wheel racing down.
Believe me, you lose more than a gallon of fluids during a race. You could lose between six and 10 pounds during a race, depending on hot it is.
