Its just the nature of the game. Everybody wants to win the first race and get to the first corner in front. |
Newman-Hass has the setup figured out here, so we're in good shape. We're four tenths of a second clear. That's impressive. |
The car felt actually quite decent in traffic earlier, so I think once now we change it a little bit for the race, going to be even better, |
The car was very good even with the wind. We knew that no other team was going to beat us, with or without wind strategy. We went out there with the big wind. It was very good. I'm just very happy. The car felt actually quite decent in traffic earlier, so I think once now we change it a little bit for the race, going to be even better. Again, the race is very long. Is the last lap that counts, so we need to get there safe. That's the main thing. Hopefully we can put the PacifiCare car again in the top of the podium. |
They are trying really hard to put the budget together for the third car for me, |
They have the money, the people, the technology and the sponsors. It's Newman/Haas. But the spirit is something that has surprised me. You really feel the passion. They are real racers, from Carl and Paul all the way to the guys who drive the trucks. |
They told me (on the radio), 'You've got to go by Glock.' That was not a very clear message, ... I wasn't sure if that meant he was going to let me by or they wanted me to try to pass him. I thought, 'If he doesn't let me by, I'm going to try it.' |
