couple team won
It's been such a down couple years for a team that's won many championships. This team is not used to being in the back of the field.
competing couple dan great happy race tough weekend
It's been a couple of tough years, but I think that's made us stronger. It's great for Dan to get a victory. We're just happy to know that each race weekend we go to now, we're going to be competing for a podium or a win.
ended gears happy messed morning second wrong
This morning went really well. We kind of messed up in the second session, with the wrong gears in the gearbox. I'm pretty happy with the car, we still ended up second quick.
car definitely easier good roles target team time trailer weekend
It's always a lot easier when the car roles off the trailer quick. You just get with it. With this series, you don't get a whole lot of time on the track, so you have to be on it quick. Team Target definitely did that, so it was a good weekend all-in-all.
bit lead pit stops tough week
This whole week it was clicking, ... The pit stops were great. We got a bit of a lead there, but it was tough to pass. I'm just overwhelmed.

answer belts brakes engine fall four issues knock seemed select start team three
We had brake issues to start with, then a gearbox, then brakes again. Then we had some engine belts fall off three or four times. Yeah, and we couldn't select some gears. I thought, eventually, it was going to knock us off the lead, but the team seemed to have an answer every time.
believe chip equipment gives great hard hardly race team wins won
This race is so difficult, so hard to win. I can hardly believe we won it. But Chip gives us a great team and great equipment and there are going to be more wins this year.
both certainly cheers coming good guy hopefully improve joining momentum people strong third year
There is certainly some momentum of him coming off such a strong year and joining our team. It cheers people up when a guy like that comes over. Both of us have had a pretty good start, second, third in points, hopefully we can improve on that.
car definitely far front hurt locked overall pleased tires within
Overall I'm pleased with the car and how far we've come with it this afternoon. But I think first place was definitely within our reach. I locked up the front tires and set us back a little so that hurt us.
confident great hold start sure
I was confident we could hold them off before the yellow, but wasn't sure about the restart. We got a great start though.
dan dream growing mainly similar
I think it's always been a dream or, you know, growing up in New Zealand, that's mainly what I watched, and it's probably similar for Dan growing up in Europe. I don't know. It's still a dream. It's very difficult.
car driving selected
He'll be driving our car for selected races.

We get on pretty good. But we've sort of been teammates for years.
