car clicked confident courses good great handling hold laps needed passes power ran road strong sure team weekend
The team has been working so good on the road courses this year. The whole weekend really clicked for us. I thought it was a really good race. We made the passes when we needed to -- and we had the power and the handling to do it. We had a really good car and the whole team did a great job. I was confident we could hold them off before the yellow, but wasn't sure about the re-start. We got a great start, though, and ran some really strong laps at the end.
car few finding found picking quite setup
We've found quite a few other things with the setup of our car over the first test. It's a big help. I think here you are always picking up speed. You are always finding little things, so I think it will be an advantage.
car clue fast race slow speed trying turn
I didn't have a clue what was going on in the race all day. I was just trying to go as fast as the car would let me, but I couldn't turn the car on the slow speed corners.
cars piece seemed strong throughout
We had some strong cars throughout the year, but it seemed we were never able to piece it together,
car good today
It's disappointing, but having a car that good today bodes well for (Indy).
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.
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.

He'll be driving our car for selected races.
apart car front speed
Apart from that, the car was pretty good. I just didn't have the speed at the end because of the front wing.
bring california car cause certainly circle drive effort field further great greater help hope impact impressed last media pink privilege race response satisfying season step target teams touches trip victory year
I had the privilege to drive the pink Target car in last year's race at California Speedway and I was really impressed with the overwhelming response we had from fans, media and other teams as well. It's a cause that touches us all and it's great that the team was able to take it a step further this year and field two pink cars. We hope to make an even greater impact in this year's race and certainly a trip to victory circle would help that effort and bring our 2005 season to a much more satisfying end.
car courses difficult fuel good great knew lap rewarding road season strategy target team track win
This is just such a great win for me and the Target team because we knew we had the car for this track which is very difficult and also rewarding when you put a good lap together. ... We had to have good fuel strategy and we knew this track was all about momentum. It's good to come back to the road courses and win once again. This one win makes this very difficult season so much better.

Formula One is definitely what I want to do. I would get back in the car today if I could.

The car is very much on the edge, but most of the time is very nimble. It feels nice to drive - it is a proper race car.
