anywhere bat car couple easy good great ground guys laps looked passes section
We had a great car and I was able to make passes pretty much anywhere around the track. I got a couple guys right off the bat but the car was so good that I was able to make up ground through the infield section as well as the oval. I was making easy laps and it looked good.
car expect favor good great last nice places planning putting race returning run spectators takes took year
Last year, the race was pretty action-packed and I expect this year to be the same. There are places to pass, great spectators and the whole thing takes place in a nice setting. Last year, we had a good run but Sebastien took the win. I'm planning on returning the favor this year and putting the No. 3 car up front.
great happens
It makes for a great equalizer, so we'll see what happens with the weather. I wouldn't be disappointed if it rained.
beat car decided fresh great knew lap morning needed ready saw step time
It wasn't really our plan. Obviously, I was in the car ready to go and when we saw Sebastien went, we just decided let's go out and go head-to-head, you know one-to-one, see if we can beat him. Sebastien did a great lap this morning on fresh tires, so we knew that we needed to step it up and the time to do it was while he was on the track.
cars crew cup drive event giving greatest guys highly job opportunity ready respect richard series takes thank time week
I have the greatest respect for the guys that drive Cup cars week in and week out. It takes a lot of preparation to be ready for a highly competitive event like the Nextel Cup Series and we just didn't have the time to do the job right. I want to thank Richard for giving me this opportunity and the crew guys at the test for all of their effort.

I really enjoyed having Nathan and his family as our guests. We got to spend some time together and chat for a while. Nathan had a huge smile on his face the whole time, he is a great kid and a huge Champ Car fan! I would really like to thank The Dream Maker and Terry Randal for creating such an unforgettable experience for Nathan, the Forsythe Team and myself.
anybody bad business car cars champ drive enjoyable few forward laps last led looking race recently types unfinished year
I'm really looking forward to the 2006 Champ Car season, we had some unfinished business last year when we led more laps than anybody but had a lot of bad luck. I've been in a few other types of race cars recently and can say that there's nothing more enjoyable and challenging to drive than a Champ Car.
math simple today win
It's simple math - we have to win and Sebastien has to have some trouble, ... It didn't go like that today but we have to keep on pushing.
bad eighth hope looking
Eighth isn't what we were looking for today, but at least Sebastien had some bad luck, too, so there's still hope for the championship,
somebody tire touched
It was a frustrating day for me. Somebody touched me in the back tire and punctured it.

I want to see what this is all about. I just don't know. I have to go out there and try to race and see what its all about. We'll see - I can go out there and love it or hate it.
