You think you’re asking too much to win the championship, too,

In England, if you win the championship, that enables you to run the #1 the following year, and you do it because it somewhat takes the value of winning the championship away if you’re not...

Last year, and I’m praising Honda here at the expense of Andretti Green Racing, we perhaps didn’t work as hard on the car as we perhaps needed to, because we had the traction control. Now,...

Winning the Indianapolis 500 was very special to me, … but winning six races is something I’ll look back on and think that was a strong season.

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.

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...

I look forward to the rest of the season, but until it’s mathematically impossible for anybody to catch me I’m going to keep trying to do the same.

They like the wine. I didn’t see a sober (sponsor).

We’re not too worried about it because you don’t get points for qualifying. We know we’ve got a strong package and I’m looking forward to defending my win here and start the season off on...

Tony and I did it to the Penskes earlier in the weekend in practice. If you’ve got two cars running in line very close to each other, you can pick up speed like that. It...

If it came down to it and I was told that I could win the championship with no victories or come second in the championship with 10, that’s the kind of guy I am. I...

Anytime your boss tells you yes or no, you have to respect their decision.

I’ve certainly got three teammates that are going to feature strongly. I’m going to have to rely on them for some help.

We had an aggressive setup and were very quick in traffic. Once underway, the car was very, very good. This is a fun place to race and win and to take Sam’s record is truly...

It’s a very, very sad day.

To be chased is the position that I prefer to be in,

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...

I think California is going to be a really good race because obviously the championship has been decided, but second, third and fourth are up for grabs. There’s going to have to be some big...

It was Herta’s day. It’s very good to see him in Victory Lane.

It was a fantastic event. There were fantastic people that I met, and the presentations were very interesting.

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...

To win six races is something I’ll look back on and think that was a strong season.

I’m going to celebrate like a race winner, but I’m not going to celebrate like a champion until it’s done,

How I grew up is, you have to run the No.1 because if you don’t, it somewhat takes the value away from the championship if you are not going to use the No.1,

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,
