against fast might pit race sprint team tempted wins
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 how fast (they) are against all the all-stars. But, really, that's not going to be what wins this race.
messed
The whole thing got messed up when Dominguez crashed,
meeting phone talked
I've talked with Troy on the phone and we're going to set up a meeting at some point.
afforded commit opportunity
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 here I am.
beaten came coming knew pit wall
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 car.
biggest everybody involved race sponsor wants
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.

Now I have been hit by every Andretti but Marco.

Definitely not the way to start the season.

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.
last race treat
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.
gerry soon yes
I know Gerry would like to know something, yes or no, as soon as possible,
anybody bad business car cars champ drive enjoyable few forward laps last led looking race recently types unfinished year
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 few other types of race cars recently and can say that there's nothing more enjoyable and challenging to drive than a Champ Car.
call cars guess track
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.
