“Bruno is my friend and I talk to him as much as I can. I want him to get better as soon as possible and get back to racing. I know I'll have to begin worrying about what I do next year pretty soon. I really just started thinking about that. Maybe I should be calling some people now, but I'm just enjoying this so much that it's hard to think about that.”
“I wasn't that far behind Sebastien and I was on a very fast lap when the red flag came out. But, tomorrow, everybody will be faster and we'll see what happens. I know I have a very good car because it's the same one that Bruno won in last year.”
“It's set up like Sebastien's car and he is very fast. I told them when I get within two tenths [of a second] of Sebastien, then I'll change it. It's hard to beat him. He's been in the car for two years. But I'm getting there.”
“They have the money, the people, the technology and the sponsors. It's Newman/Haas. But the spirit is something that has surprised me. You really feel the passion. They are real racers, from Carl and Paul all the way to the guys who drive the trucks.”
“They told me (on the radio), 'You've got to go by Glock.' That was not a very clear message, ... I wasn't sure if that meant he was going to let me by or they wanted me to try to pass him. I thought, 'If he doesn't let me by, I'm going to try it.'”
“I think just going to Vegas in general is always good. It's good for the series, good for the fans, good for the drivers. It's just a very different race in a very cool city.”
