age-and-aging change five good happen left maybe richard stepped talked teams time
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 a good look at it. I've talked with some other teams over there (in NASCAR), but Richard Childress is the only one who has stepped up and made something happen at this point.
gerry soon yes
I know Gerry would like to know something, yes or no, as soon as possible,
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.
excited opportunity race
I'm very excited about my first opportunity to race in NASCAR.
bring cent drivers hanging lack leaving per teams
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.
basically car handed montreal next week win
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 can do.
accident definitely start took
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.
capable five ground picking points pressure races start winning
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 out and do it, win some races and put some pressure on Sebastien.
cars speed
We just didn't have the speed the Newman-Haas cars have,
afford capitalize either front seems team time
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 that any more.
anywhere bat car couple easy good great ground guys laps looked passes section
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 was able to make up ground through the infield section as well as the oval. I was making easy laps and it looked good.
cars felt third
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.
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.
beach break lunch sneak took
We took our lunch break to sneak down the beach and see the waves.
