The car was fast. We passed a lot of cars when we needed to. I'm just overwhelmed.

I was confident we could hold them off before the yellow, but wasn't sure about the restart. We got a great start though.

As a driver you're always second-guessing yourself, thinking maybe you're the problem. It does lift the pressure off.

This is such a relief for the team. This group really deserves it. I'm just overwhelmed.

This is just such a great win for me and the Target team because we knew we had the car for this track which is very difficult and also rewarding when you put a good lap together. ... We had to have good fuel strategy and we knew this track was all about momentum. It's good to come back to the road courses and win once again. This one win makes this very difficult season so much better.

We've found quite a few other things with the setup of our car over the first test. It's a big help. I think here you are always picking up speed. You are always finding little things, so I think it will be an advantage.

This is such a relief for the team, ... They did a great job all day and this group really deserves it. Watkins Glen is a true drivers' track; everybody loves it. It is a lot of fun but it was a hard race. We ran strong all day, and this is a great feeling.

The car is very much on the edge, but most of the time is very nimble. It feels nice to drive - it is a proper race car.

This whole week it was clicking, ... The pit stops were great. We got a bit of a lead there, but it was tough to pass. I'm just overwhelmed.
