Paul Tracy Guys Quotations

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 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 the cream of the crop. I'm here to win. That's why I chose to run with these guys and with this team.

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 unsuccessful.

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.

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 Series and we just didn't have the time to do the job right. I want to thank Richard for giving me this opportunity and the crew guys at the test for all of their effort.
