behind came car everybody far fast faster flag good lap last red won
I wasn't that far behind Sebastien and I was on a very fast lap when the red flag came out. But, tomorrow, everybody will be faster and we'll see what happens. I know I have a very good car because it's the same one that Bruno won in last year.
best counts early everybody factor good lap last maybe pass push race strange sure team until vegas wait year
I thought it made sense last year not to use Push to Pass because usually you have Push to Pass until you go off throttle (to deactivate it) and in Vegas your on the throttle the whole race so it should be an interesting transition. I think it's a little strange but if everybody has it, I'm sure it will be fun. Everybody will probably wait to use at the end of the race because you don't want to use it too early then not have it for the last lap which is when it counts but who knows, maybe that will be too late. It's a new factor and the good thing is that I'm in the best team and they'll tell me what to do I don't have to think, just drive.
again australia believed best brought contender far fighting finish glad great last left montreal nice position races slim start team win wins year
It's great to be a contender for the championship even if I only have a slim chance, ... The team believed in me from the start and so did PacifiCare so I am glad to give them all the podiums so far and especially the win in Montreal and put them in the position of fighting for another 1-2 finish in the championship. There are two races left and two opportunities to win and were going to try our best to do this. Bruno brought PacifiCare wins in Montreal and Australia last year and it would be nice if I could do that for them again this year.
glad lap last
I'm glad they did the right thing, ... If not, I can tell you, that last lap in the hairpin was going to be ugly.
again beat bit car change decent felt good hopefully knew lap last main quite race team top traffic wind
The car was very good even with the wind. We knew that no other team was going to beat us, with or without wind strategy. We went out there with the big wind. It was very good. I'm just very happy. The car felt actually quite decent in traffic earlier, so I think once now we change it a little bit for the race, going to be even better. Again, the race is very long. Is the last lap that counts, so we need to get there safe. That's the main thing. Hopefully we can put the PacifiCare car again in the top of the podium.
absolutely call great network news people spain
It was absolutely great and I am so overwhelmed. So much people call me and congratulate me on this win. Now that I did it once, ... I want it again. We made the network news in Spain and that was tremendous.
begin calling enjoying friend hard maybe next people possible soon talk thinking worrying year
Bruno is my friend and I talk to him as much as I can. I want him to get better as soon as possible and get back to racing. I know I'll have to begin worrying about what I do next year pretty soon. I really just started thinking about that. Maybe I should be calling some people now, but I'm just enjoying this so much that it's hard to think about that.
good quick truth
I've always been quick here but the truth is I've never had a good race,
deserved feels happy list saying start win
It feels awesome. I won't start saying how often I've deserved to win because the list is so long. But I'm really happy about this one.
cool general good race vegas
I think just going to Vegas in general is always good. It's good for the series, good for the fans, good for the drivers. It's just a very different race in a very cool city.
figured four good second setup
Newman-Hass has the setup figured out here, so we're in good shape. We're four tenths of a second clear. That's impressive.
announced champ country fans front good great media ride talk time timing today
For me it's great timing because we announced my ride today and now I will get to go talk to media around the country. It's the first time that anything like this has ever been done and I think it's really good for Champ Car. I think it's great that we can go around the country and get out in front of the fans as well and the media and the sponsors.
saturday
It's OK, because I still have Saturday and Sunday,
broken car change crashed either hoping
I've either crashed or the car has broken down so I'm hoping things are going to change this year.
