" This is the result of a lot of hard work by my crew in giving me a good car this weekend. It has nothing to do with what happened last weekor last year. I need to win my first race in this series. It's been long enough. I need it for myself, I need it forthe team, and I need it for Shell. "

" We adjusted the car and I believe we made it a little bit better, but we encountered a lot of traffic out there today. Sometimes, you just find yourself in the wrong place atthe wrong time. I have a great chance to go home tomorrow night with something in my pocket, that's whatcounts. We have a good car. It's very consistent and I expect to run strong in the race. "
