They have already proven themselves as a top team in not just the GT but also the DP division. I'm very excited at going back to Daytona to try and win myself another Rolex, especially with such good teammates. It has always been a happy hunting ground for me and I'm hoping that 2006 will be no different!

I enjoy the racing business and I want people to know why. But it is a business and I believe fans can come to understand that better through this series. We had a very strong response from last year's programs and we've built on that this time around.

I have wanted to race at Long Beach for many years. I've raced in California many times, but never at Long Beach.

My first lap in qualifying was the first lap that the car turned today. We had new brake discs and pads, and then they black-flagged it. I had three laps to bed some pads and discs in and try to set a respectable time. I'm very disappointed we couldn't show the teams' and the cars' potential.
