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.
