Winning the Indy 500 in 1995 and the Formula 1 championship in 1997 are very special moments for me, and the people in NASCAR show me respect for what I've achieved so far in my career.

Both Indy Car and Formula 1 work in the same way, although there is a greater emphasis on development and technology in Formula 1.

I want to win a championship and to win the Indy 500 makes me want it so much more.

It's sad that you don't see drivers being real people.

With my father and uncle so involved in racing, it was the only thing I ever knew, so I'm sure that had a huge influence on me. However, my father had more influence on me just by the way he lived, because the way he was at the racetrack was the way he was in everyday life.

Every NASCAR driver watches Formula One in the morning; they are well informed.
