The one thing I do disagree on is the fact that they are pushing Danica solely; that's a big mistake. With the momentum they've created, they shouldn't be pushing one person. If Danica disappears and does something else, you lose that momentum and the chance to push others. |
The one thing I do disagree with the IRL is the fact that they are pushing Danica solely. I think that's a big mistake on their part. |
The one thing I do disagree with the IRL on is the fact that they are pushing Danica solely. ... Do you hear about Buddy Rice, who is the 2004 Indy 500 champion? Do you hear about my teammate, Tony Kanaan, who is the 2004 IndyCar Series champion? You really don't. With the momentum they've created, they shouldn't be pushing one person solely at this point. ... Because if Danica should happen to disappear and do something else, then you've lost that momentum and you haven't used the momentum you've got at the time to push other people. |
The one thing I've learned about this league is don't get excited too soon, ... It's going to be a difficult race. My teammates are going to push me really hard. Last year, I struggled a little bit on the short ovals. The boys have been a big help to me. It's nice to have your first pole. I'm still a rookie until Japan so I have a lot to learn. |
The St. Pete race was very, very good from that standpoint. Certainly, living there you can feel the buzz about people wanting the race to come back. That's what you have to have at each track we go to. With Danica [Patrick], and the fact that she's generated so much interest, I think the races are going to get bigger and better. |
The superspeedways, with the cars we have at Andretti Green Racing, you can get to the front pretty quick, |
There are rivalries out there. There's people that want to beat one another. There are people with points to prove. But on a difficult day like today, everybody came together and put on a great show. |
They like the wine. I didn't see a sober (sponsor). |
They teach you not only at the track but away from the track: how to handle yourself, how to handle yourself in a situation like I'm in now, with a big lead. There's a lot that you can learn from these guys. |
They will never give me equal treatment because I'm the baby of the team, ... My rental car has probably lost its tires by now. |
This has been a dream come true for me. The best drivers in the world and the best teams in the world are here and I'm just so proud...Thank you everybody. |
This team has a great history; it wins the big races. And that's what I love to do. |
This track is a challenge, that's best thing I can say about it, and drivers like challenges. I think I speak for all the drivers (in the IRL) when I say we can't wait to come out here. It's a great racetrack and the fans have also been great. |
Those guys, particularly Scott, did just a great job. It's another good win to add to the Indy 500. It's amazing. |
To be chased is the position that I prefer to be in, |
