It's great to finally have a full-blown solid weekend. The pit stops were excellent like always. The car was good. (Engineer) Tim (Reiter) and I hit it off all weekend. We've been spot on, didn't make hardly any changes. The Honda power was awesome this weekend.
everybody finally great main pit solid strategy
It's great to finally have a full-blown solid weekend. Pit strategy was the main thing, just like everybody anticipated.
adjusting altitude car change effect fun great help high honda job luck nice peak power thin track
Pikes Peak is a nice track and it is a lot of fun to drive. The high altitude does have an effect on the power of the engine, but Honda does a great job of adjusting to the thin air. We have some new things on the car that I think will help make us more competitive. I'd like to see our luck change at Pikes Peak.
track racing special
Its always a little different, racing on your hometown track. It makes it more special.
car kitten wells
When the car's going well, I purr like a kitten.
running exercise engineering
Mile tracks put more emphasis on the driver. On the longer tracks, you can drive flat out all the way around, so it's more of an engineering exercise. On a mile, you can't run flat out. You're constantly in traffic, there's more driver involvement.
radar
I've always been under the radar.
home work-out four
I've always loved old hot rods. I have four or five of them at home that I work on when I'm not working out.
winning race car
It's pretty cool to be able to hang out with the President and have the race-winning car on the South Lawn.
reason take-me happens
Things happen for a reason. We'll see where life takes me from here.
past giving people
In the past, people said I wasn't focused and didn't give it the time. That's a bunch of crap. I'm not doing anything different now than I did before.
You have to take everything as it comes.
jobs weekend years
No matter if I have a job for one weekend or for the next year, or three years, I'm going to drive the same way. That's the way I am. I'm going to give it everything I have.
opportunity
You have to take the hits as they come and you have to take the opportunities.
