It is their (the management company’s) job to be looking into all of the options for my future and making sure they are right. They certainly did have contact with different teams in different series....

Those guys, particularly Scott, did just a great job. It’s another good win to add to the Indy 500. It’s amazing.

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...

That’s not true. But you’re on the right track.

Dario is certainly going to be very, very strong on the road courses as Tony will. I’ve certainly got three teammates that are going to feature strongly. I think certainly with my experience level right...

It was a fantastic season last year.

It was just one of those things. The qualifying effort didn’t seem that bad. I don’t know where the speed was. It was kind of a disappointing run, really. It kills you to lose time...

It wasn’t as good a throw as the one I did at Shea Stadium; it was a little high, … This was more of an English cricket throw than a pitch. I was throwing it...

It’s a challenge. Everybody believes that. Physically and mentally, it’s tough. It awards you, though.

I look forward to proving a point to him.

I knew I had a chance to come back because you can come back on the superspeedways pretty quickly.

We obviously lost some ground toward the championship, which makes Chicago a very important race. I’m hoping we can get back in the swing of things.

I think for sure being chased is the position I want to be in. It does add pressure to the situation, and it’s (a matter of) having the right people around you to guide you...

It was difficult. There were laps where we certainly had to breathe and back all the way out of the throttle.

I’m really excited to be here,

I think this championship means a great deal to Kim, … I came in relatively inexperienced with just a couple of races for Panther under my belt. I soaked info from my teammates and it’s...

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...

It’s still mathematically possible for a lot of people to beat me. If you can win a championship and win a lot of races on the way, that would be pretty special. I would love...

I was kind of surprised (because) I was under the impression they were going to do it with younger kids. But I guess they want to do whatever it takes to win.

To join the list of names that have won championships and the Indy 500 in the same season is pretty special. Those are all people I respect immensely. To be listed in the same category...

Really, I won the Indianapolis 500.

but I have mixed emotions. I’m happy to be second but I’m also sad to be second.

It’s difficult in this series, … To have won six is a very proud moment for me. To win six races is something I’ll look back on and think that was a strong season.

My primary goal coming into the season was to win the Indianapolis 500,

It’s very difficult to race under these circumstances.

I achieved a lot at Andretti Green Racing,

It certainly affects me when you see an accident like that. It’s not the nicest thing at all,

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...

She was fast before she was famous.

It was much better than the one at Wrigley Field. My best one was still the first one at Shea Stadium, but I didn’t bounce it in. I put it right in the glove and...

Today was a very disappointing day. We had some serious fueling problems throughout the race. Unfortunately, we were not able to get the finish we needed and that is very frustrating. We obviously lost some...

I thought I could do it sometime in my career, but certainly not this soon.

To tell you the truth, it looked very, very bad.

My three teammates have really helped me, and I thank them for that. It’s an unbelievable feeling to have this after winning the Indy 500 because that means so much to me. You think you’re...

I must say my primary goal coming into the season was to win the Indianapolis 500,

On a difficult day like today, everybody came together and I think put on a great show.

This team has a great history; it wins the big races. And that’s what I love to do.

She’s proved herself enough. It’s not like she’s looked at as a female on track. She’s just another driver and a very good one at that.

I didn’t expect the race to go like that, and I didn’t think I’d forget to push the pit lane speed button coming into the pits. When you make an error, as long as you...

That’s what really got me passionate about American motor sports. Ever since that point, I’ve kind of aspired to being out here.

I’ve had probably fifteen approaches from different teams.

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.

It’s difficult to race under such circumstances. It’s a job and it can be pretty vicious at times. But there can be a lot of highs as well.

I’m going to celebrate like a race winner, not a champion, … If all I have to do is run a practice lap at Watkins Glen, it’s going to be the slowest lap you’ve ever...

I couldn’t leave my three teammates. I’d feel lost.

My goal coming into this season was to win the Indy 500. When I achieved that, I had to adjust my mindset, and the goals I had for myself. Obviously, winning the championship was the...

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...

If I owned Sports Illustrated, you’ve got 33 drivers in the Indianapolis 500, and one’s female and hot, why wouldn’t you put her on the front page? You’d be stupid not to.

To tell you the truth, I’m surprised Honda paid so much to get Jenson out of his Williams deal because I personally think that if you give me the right time, I can certainly be...

I look back to when I was a rookie. You’re up against guys that have been around, for not just a year or two, but you’re talking 10 years.
