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.
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.
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.
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.
hate love race
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.

I'm very excited about this opportunity, especially at Michigan where I have a lot of experience. Driving a NASCAR Nextel Cup car will be totally new to me but my focus is to develop a package that will help Kevin (Harvick), Jeff (Burton) and Dave (Blaney) and their teams for the race weekend. I want to do whatever I can to help.

bad car continue early enjoy finish front problem race sprint though took
It's disappointing to be out early after getting the car into the lead. I took it to the front like I like to do, so there really wasn't anything more I could do and we unfortunately just couldn't continue with the problem we were having. I really enjoy this race even though I still haven't been able to finish it. It's just too bad this wasn't a two-hour sprint race!
