Now when we get to Watkins Glen, that's going to be the slowest lap in history. I'm going to tell the team not to expect me to set a flyer on that first one. |
Obviously, Wrigley Field is similar to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in that it has that same mystique to it, ... I don't follow baseball too much, but I know how cool that stadium is and the history and heritage behind it. |
On a difficult day like today, everybody came together and I think put on a great show. |
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Dana family and all of Rahal Letterman racing. It's a very, very sad day. I think hopefully we put on a good race. |

Scott and I already were talking that we want to make a big impact next year. That's a goal. I had a lot of success this season, and I'm looking to do the same (in '06). It will be a very exciting season in general. There will be a lot of competitive cars, so we'll have to be on top of our game. |

The Indianapolis Motor Speedway has always strongly supported our troops, and we're doing the same. I think no matter which beliefs people have, we would like to show our support to the troops. |
The nicest thing is that I'm going to be able to sleep now, |
