Quotes
  • It`s looking difficult now. (Wheldon) and his team keep doing this kind of a job.
    (thinkexist.com)
  • It caught me by surprise, because I`ve never had the back end come around like that there. It`s going to make it a hard day (today).
    (thinkexist.com)
  • I lost a good friend here six years ago and this means a lot to all of us who were friends of Greg Moore.
    (thinkexist.com)
  • A wheel bearing went in the rear suspension, which I think is the same problem as Tony (Kanaan). It almost put me into the wall and almost put Tony in the wall as well. It`s unfortunate and the ArcaEx team deserves better. It`s the same problem we had at Nashville.
    (thinkexist.com)
  • I actually thought it was closer than that. It was close enough.
    (thinkexist.com)
  • I`ll have to (fill) him with alcohol (today) to get the real truth.
    (thinkexist.com)
  • I could see him coming. He was coming up quickly and I really don`t know what happened. But it all came down to that, as usual, last two feet, didn`t it?
    (thinkexist.com)
  • There is a misconception that I left the Indy Car Series because there was something wrong with it and there really is not. It was time for that new challenge. It was time to start a new adventure. I was looking for that but there is nothing wrong with the Indy Car Series. In fact, it`s one of the greatest series in racing.
    (imdb.com)
  • I was not very happy with the way things were going.
    (thinkexist.com)
  • I had the clutch pedal depressed, but the car slowly started to creep forward and the engine stalled. So another mechanical problem took us from a race that I feel we had the car to win. We just cannot continue to have these things happen.
