We took our lunch break to sneak down the beach and see the waves.

I’d like to go Cup racing and Busch racing full time, but I’ve got to start somewhere and get my feet wet. The biggest question mark people have for me is, can I drive one...

It’s definitely not the way to start the season. That accident took out a lot of championship contenders and it’s a real shame.

We are playing some catch-up with the car because we lost track time yesterday. We just haven’t found the balance we need to be fast here yet. We have another warm-up session in the morning,...

He only made one mistake in the hairpin and we weren’t close enough to take advantage.

I was taking a look down the inside coming in behind Servia and I cut it too close. I bumped that tire of Mario’s and it launched the car into the air.

I think I just want to finish the race.

The team that wins this race is the one that doesn’t have any unscheduled pit stops. Some of these guys, they might be tempted to make this into a sprint race and try to show...

I’m a long way behind and, with only five races left, I have to start winning.

Definitely not the way to start the season.

It was very frustrating to watch him because I know he can do better than what he did. But in NASCAR it’s so, so competitive. You’ve got to be in a good car, you’ve got...

I’ve made another year commitment to Forsythe Racing [in Champ Car]. I plan to be in NASCAR [full-time] in 2007.

Absolutely it had a lot to do with my decision. I am Canadian and I love racing in Canada and racing in the 24 for a team with a Canadian sponsor was really appealing to...

We’ve generally been pretty quick here but today for some reason we’ve been lost. It’s a little frustrating. It doesn’t feel like the same car I’ve been driving for the last three years. We’re going...

I’m very excited about this opportunity, especially at Michigan where I have a lot of experience. Driving a NASCAR Nextel Cup car will be totally new to me but my focus is to develop a...

This is our first time at this track and let me tell you, it’s one of the most fun tracks I’ve ever driven. It’s got a nice combination of slow-, medium- and high-speed corners, with...

Obviously we’ve had some run-ins this year and I’ve come out on the short end of the stick but that only motivates me further for next year,

It’s simple math – we have to win and Sebastien has to have some trouble, … It didn’t go like that today but we have to keep on pushing.

I would really like to tie Little Al, that is something I am shooting for, … Plus, any time I can move up the chart for another record is neat.

Well, definitely not the way I wanted to start the season. I’m very disappointed because I know that we had a car good enough to finish on the podium.

People are glad to see me come and try this, but I think one of the biggest problems I have is a lot of the open-wheel guys who have tried to do it have been...

We have to treat every race like its our last and at the end of the year, if it’s enough, it’s enough. If not, at least we’ll know we put everything into it.

My championship aspirations are the same as they’ve been every year. Our goal is to win races. I think that our team, we have the ability (and) we have the speed, we just need to...

We felt we could have been third on the grid. We got everything we could out of the car, but the Newman-Haas cars are just very, very quick.

The first year we raced at Denver, the track had some teething problems and was bumpy and slippery, but it has gotten a lot better since then, … Last year, I was leading the race...

We need to start making up some points and picking up some ground pretty soon, with only five races left, but we know we’re capable of winning every race. Now, we just have to go...

It has been a long time since Mexico City and we had a group of drivers together. We did a lot of work today and it was pretty exhausting but when you visit three cities...

I want to see what this is all about. I just don’t know. I have to go out there and try to race and see what its all about. We’ll see – I can go...

It seemed like the right thing to do at the time.

Eighth isn’t what we were looking for today, but at least Sebastien had some bad luck, too, so there’s still hope for the championship,

I’ve talked with Troy on the phone and we’re going to set up a meeting at some point.

It’s disappointing to be out early after getting the car into the lead. I took it to the front like I like to do, so there really wasn’t anything more I could do and we...

Whether I stay here or not, another championship would mean a lot. I’m going to do everything I can to make it happen.

I don’t go out and tell people what I have done in my career, … I’m aware of how long I have been in the sport and how many races I have won, but it...

I’m really looking forward to the 2006 Champ Car season, we had some unfinished business last year when we led more laps than anybody but had a lot of bad luck. I’ve been in a...

Now I have been hit by every Andretti but Marco.

I think I’ve got a good opportunity in these five races … Maybe some doors open up. My focus is to gain experience in this and try to win the Champ Car World Series title...

It was a frustrating day for me. Somebody touched me in the back tire and punctured it.

We had a great car and I was able to make passes pretty much anywhere around the track. I got a couple guys right off the bat but the car was so good that I...

I feel I’ve got a better car than in previous years here, but we still have to close the gap,

It’s going to be hard. We have to win and Sebastien has to have some trouble. That didn’t happen today. But we’re not going to give up. We’re just going to try to do our...

This season has gone great, other than two races, … I got in an accident with Bourdais in Mexico, which put me out of the race, and then I was leading in Toronto and ran...

They knew we were coming in the pits. It wasn’t like I came from the wall down into the pit lane. There was no way they would have beaten us tonight. We had a better...

I’m very excited about my first opportunity to race in NASCAR, especially in the biggest race of the year at Daytona. Then moving on to race at Las Vegas, which is my former home, and...

I’ll be back in this race next year, and I hope my schedule gives me the chance to run more of these races this season.

I wouldn’t say that driving the car is any different. Once you get out there and start racing, your mentality, your thought process of what you do is the same as it’s always been.

The car was great. I just basically just handed the championship to Sebastien. It’s devastating for the whole team. We’ll just try to come back next week in Montreal and win there. That’s all we...

It wasn’t really our plan. Obviously, I was in the car ready to go and when we saw Sebastien went, we just decided let’s go out and go head-to-head, you know one-to-one, see if we...

The whole thing got messed up when Dominguez crashed,

I’m an old guy. I have to push hard to keep up with these young guys.
