We started our session a little late and when we finally got out there, we got 'black-flagged' just before I was going to start my quick lap, ... Our guys have been working hard and that's a decent result for my first time out. I just want to thank Paul.
Tried to go wide at the start and just got lucky. My tires were going at the end, if there had been three more laps, Lou probably would have gotten by me.
It's special for me. This is home, ... I don't know a lot of the other drivers have this kind of luxury. It's an hour from home, and this is where I did most of my growing up. My first car racing experience was here, and I've just had a number of great memories of Mosport.
A driver needs complete trust in his crew chief, and I certainly have that with Dan.
Everyone wants to give you well wishes, and you do your best to accommodate everybody. I think people understand that your job is to drive a race car, and it's a little tougher doing double-duty on the weekend.
It's a major part of our business, very important.
The effort that Dan puts into motivating the crew, his enthusiasm, and his work ethic energize the entire team, ... He will do anything, stay up all hours, to make the car right. That's a testament to his dedication and his desire to win. His record speaks for itself, and I wish our paths had crossed a lot sooner.
We've got a lot of miles there.
I got a real good jump at the start and I decided to go around the outside, ... The next thing I knew, there were cars sideways in front of me. I swung wide and didn't get touched. We were lucky.
