A.J. Allmendinger Quotations

Fourth is a great result for our situation. Today really goes to my crew because they worked so fast to get those things done and get us back out there.

I was happy to be on the track again. It seems like it's been a long winter, and I'm ready for the Champ Car season to start. The team has been working hard during the off-season, and we're hoping to keep building on last year's momentum.

I thought my TV performance actually went fairly well.

It's been a really good day for us here. The team has been able to regroup after Long Beach and we have gotten a lot of work done today.

It's good to see Sebastien have a little problem.

These two-hour races for Champ cars, I'm all down with that. Wake up in the morning, race, go party after.

This is Day 2 of four, We did Long Beach, we did San Jose, we did Portland. Right now, it's Edmonton, and Denver right after this.

I'm worn out and my body hurts. I've never experienced in my life trying not to fall asleep in a race car. That was interesting. It was fantastic, though. Thanks to Mike Shank and the whole team at Mike Shank Racing, especially Mark Patterson for allowing myself and Justin this opportunity to get in such a great car and to Oswaldo for teaching us so much right away so we could get right after it. It was almost like I had almost driven the car before when I jumped in it; he just taught me so much.

I'm happy with the team, I'm just not happy with my results right now. Going into Denver, I'm just trying to forget about the mistakes I've made, learn from them and move on. And if we do that, I think we'll have a good chance of being there again.

The last three weeks have been quite disappointing and I had been putting a lot of pressure on myself and it was more about just going out there and having fun.
