The bottom line is that I have to win races to have a chance to win the championship. Sebastien says he has to be conservative from here on out and not make any mistakes, so...

They [NASCAR] haven’t made any hard announcement on where or when it’s going to be, but if there is, I definitely would like to be in that race.

That’s definitely not the way to start a season. Taking out four contenders is a tough way to start a season.

I have the greatest respect for the guys that drive Cup cars week in and week out. It takes a lot of preparation to be ready for a highly competitive event like the Nextel Cup...

If we’re leading and he’s second, I don’t think he’ll try anything crazy to win, but if he becomes too conservative and other guys are pushing hard, anything can happen,

I’ve got to get out on the track and test and race and see how it all goes. Obviously it’s something I’m interested in, but we’ll just see how it goes, see how things progress.

That (the lack of sponsors) is leaving the teams unhealthy. You’re leaving the drivers hanging by a thread. About 50 per cent of the drivers have to bring money.

I think the product is good,

I’ve been afforded the opportunity to do this from Forsythe. He said to me to ‘If you want to go NASCAR, you better go try it first before you commit to a 38-race schedule.’ So...

Last year, the race was pretty action-packed and I expect this year to be the same. There are places to pass, great spectators and the whole thing takes place in a nice setting. Last year,...

I was amazed with the quality of drivers in last year’s field, and there are going to be even more this year. The list is very strong – a lot of drivers that are just...

Richard is planning to do a 500-mile engine reliability test and I’d hope to do that for him. Then, we’re hoping I can drive a race later this year at either Atlanta or Homestead, which...

This is the biggest race of the year, Daytona. This is the one that everybody wants to be at, this is the one every sponsor wants to be involved in.

I guess you can’t call this single-car qualifying if there are two cars on the track at the same time. It’s frustrating.

Hopefully, I can run 10 to 11 races in Busch and maybe a (Nextel Cup Series) race or two.

I know Gerry would like to know something, yes or no, as soon as possible,

I figure, at my age, I still have three, four, maybe five years in (Champ Car) left in me, but it could be the right time to make a change and I want to take...

I think we are definitely getting there with the car. We still have some progress to make with our race set-up, but there is no question we are right in the ballpark with the car...

I’ve been gearing up for this. The initial thing is getting your feet wet to see how you like it.

We have to beat him,

We just didn’t have the speed the Newman-Haas cars have,

We need to be in front of him to capitalize on it. It seems that every time either myself or someone from another team seem to give it to him. We can’t afford to do...

I think my championship aspirations are the same as they’ve been every year. Our goal is to win races, and I think the last season we really had the speed and we had the ability...

It makes for a great equalizer, so we’ll see what happens with the weather. I wouldn’t be disappointed if it rained.

I think I just want to finish the race. I think if we don’t get involved in any crashes that happen and don’t have any problems and our stops go OK, then maybe we can...
