The team did a great job, and I'm really happy.

This was a great result for the Cheever Racing team. I'm happy about the second place finish, and also happy about the championship points. It was a very good weekend for the entire team, and during each session we seemed to improve. Now, I'm looking forward to our next race in Long Beach.

It's important to start up front, but it's not the most important thing.

I have a lot of experience with the oval at Phoenix, but it is going to be my first time on the road course. I just have to remember to turn left a little harder into one. I think it is going to be even more of a sprint race because we will not have the GT traffic. Almost all of the cars are going to be running the same lap times. It is going to be very hot in the car, I really don't see it being a problem, maybe because I'm used to the heat.

Everyone was trying to win the race on the restarts. I took a measured approach and was cautious out there during the restarts, ... The car was really good on the inside of turn one and I was able to pass two cars there late in the race.

They've done a great job and I couldn't be happier for them. I'm happy for the team and the city. I'll be rooting hard.
