It's been a great winter so far. We've been outside on the track doing most of our training. Obviously, you can run a lot faster and harder in 50-degree weather than 20-degree weather.

But I plan on dedicating specific training to track this winter for the next racing season.

I came to the MRF just to have a bowl outside. I have been indoors all winter and it does take its toll. Its very monotonous and you get bored so you want to come outside and bowl.

You don't want to leave all your vitality on the training track.

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 know he's not an easy guy to track down in the winter.
