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. |
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. |
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. |
It's disappointing, but having a car that good today bodes well for (Indy). |

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. |
That's what everybody has been hoping for for a long time. If it happens it will be huge. It just needs to happen, one way or another. |
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. |
The car was consistent and the balance was set up. But I had a bad radio and had no clue what was going on in the race. |
The car was fast. We passed a lot of cars when we needed to. I'm just overwhelmed. |
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. |
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. |
There's not as much money in the series, but it's a level playing field. |
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. |
