ballpark car definitely far happy overall progress question race together
I think we are definitely getting there with the car. We still have some progress to make with our race set-up, but there is no question we are right in the ballpark with the car as far as overall speed. I am really happy working with this team, and so far everything has gelled together really well.
car definitely finish good start
Well, definitely not the way I wanted to start the season. I'm very disappointed because I know that we had a car good enough to finish on the podium.

That's definitely not the way to start a season. Taking out four contenders is a tough way to start a season.

It's definitely not the way to start the season, with three or four championship contenders taken out in the first turn.

ability bad cost goal last luck mistakes season speed win
I think my championship aspirations are the same as they've been every year. Our goal is to win races, and I think the last season we really had the speed and we had the ability to win a lot of races, but bad luck and some mistakes really cost us.
crashes finish happen inside involved maybe problems race stops
I think I just want to finish the race. I think if we don't get involved in any crashes that happen and don't have any problems and our stops go OK, then maybe we can finish inside the top 15. That would be great.

My championship aspirations are the same as they've been every year. Our goal is to win races. I think that our team, we have the ability (and) we have the speed, we just need to cut out the mistakes and some of the bad luck ... This year we're going to be a factor.
biggest glad guys people problems tried
People are glad to see me come and try this, but I think one of the biggest problems I have is a lot of the open-wheel guys who have tried to do it have been unsuccessful.
amazed chose cream drivers guys last list quality run strong
I was amazed with the quality of drivers in last year's field, and there are going to be even more this year. The list is very strong - a lot of drivers that are just the cream of the crop. I'm here to win. That's why I chose to run with these guys and with this team.

I would really like to tie Little Al, that is something I am shooting for, ... Plus, any time I can move up the chart for another record is neat.
