The only thing they didn't check was my underwear.

It's always good to come test at the Speedway, first time of the year it's always exciting for everybody. But for me I'm really excited just to be back in the car and get back to work.

It's hard to really praise the safety with what happened over the weekend, but from the other side of the coin, I just have a little cut, didn't have a concussion, and I have some bruises on my lungs. You can make an argument both ways.

They've got a tough road ahead to dealing with everything.

I was fortunate to be able to speak with Paul's brother during my stay at the hospital and I was glad for that. I wish I could have spoken with his wife as well, but I want her to know that my sincerest sympathies and prayers are with her, their family and the entire Rahal Letterman Racing team.

One of the things the IRL was created for was to give American open-wheel USAC drivers a chance.
