This is going to be the first time we're racing solo. I would think that there will be fewer yellows. This was also the race we had our first win last year. In fact, it's also the place I clinched my first U.S. title in 1994. So this track has some previous success for me. I'm looking forward to going back.

The fire marshals were there but didn't know where to point the fire extinguishers and they didn't last. The truck came with water and ran out of water. I was running around finding guys with more fire extinguishers. There was just not enough to put the car out.

I think it may have started as an electrical fire because I started smelling something in the cockpit.

It means a lot for the championship. We could have been out of the race. That incident with the fire could have happened this morning. If it had happened this morning in warm-up instead of yesterday we'd be done. I really believe things happen for a reason. The championship is not over, but today we didn't lose too many points, and that's thanks to Max.

Normally in a situation like that you would not get to race and you would lose substantial points. So to not only get the car back in the race but to finish on the podium, it was the ideal situation.

I do not think I want to go back. We had to swim under dirty water, where bodies were floating. It was something. If I can find a place here, I'll stay. We lost everything.

The only thing I could think about was the car and the bloody championship. It was a wake-up call, you know. You never think about these kinds of things. I haven't seen the car but if anybody can get it back together, these guys can. One consolation is that the race isn't until 5:30 tomorrow night. I think we'll be okay for the race.

We had a wonderful year in 2005 and really turned it around. I say congratulations to the commission for doing what we needed to do to make sure we got (the finances) under control.
