This has been a dream come true for me. The best drivers in the world and the best teams in the world are here and I'm just so proud...Thank you everybody.

I've had probably fifteen approaches from different teams.

I wasn't pissed. I had just realized a dream of 10 years.

It was much better than the one at Wrigley Field. My best one was still the first one at Shea Stadium, but I didn't bounce it in. I put it right in the glove and there was a little pop. I had to do a good one because (Tampa Bay's) my home team. I had to impress.

I think I've explained earlier on in the year that I kind of underestimated how important experience was in this series, especially when you're up against such good quality drivers.

I think you're certainly going to see much closer racing. But, no, these are very good teams in the IRL. I just can't stress how competitive they all are and how close it's going to be.
