Not only is Scott a key asset to our racing team because of his record and team-building experience, he's also a personal friend I know I can rely on as we prepare A1 Team USA to compete in this unprecedented international racing series.

Scott and the team did a terrific job moving from near the back earlier today and into the top five. But what happened today is what racing is all about. We've certainly learned more about our team and what we need to do to be successful, so I am happy with that. We're already concentrating on Germany and I am certain we will be more successful there.
