“It’s really hard to get the set up exactly as you need it. That’s the worst part about (Texas Motor Speedway), just getting the car in that very small operating range. Every year it seems to get trickier too. The track surface seems to be a little bit rougher every year and just eats up […]

Dual in Detroit: Dual 1 Qualifying Report
“There’s an accordion affect in qualifying sometimes. You get yourself into a gap, you make your home in that gap and then everybody’s just got to go. Bourdais, for some reason, went five seconds off the pace on that first lap. I have to understand why he did it; I’ve got to understand why it […]

Phoenix Grand Prix Qualifying Report
“First, I am glad Carlos is alright. Pulling 5G’s (of downforce) around here is one thing and when that string breaks and you hit the wall, it’s a massive hit. I am glad he’s alright. This morning we were quite a bit slower than the competition, we were 11th and the top Honda so we […]
