    I don't care how it happens but I hope it does. I think Montreal would support a doubleheader of Indy cars and NASCAR.

    Going into the last race, you always want to run strong, but it's also important to be safe. I've had quite a bit of experience at Fontana, so there really shouldn't be too many surprises. I should have won there a couple of times, but circumstances didn't allow it. I really expect the #83 car to be competitive in the race. Toyota has made some big improvements, and we were able to hang with the leaders on a big track for the first time at Chicago. So, I think we should be able to finish the season on a high note.

    It is like Motocross but on special snowmobiles. It is great training. If I can get enough speed, maybe Skidoo or perhaps Red Bull will put me on their teams.

    We really struggled to find a consistent car today. Some of that might be due to the weather, but we face a challenge finding that consistency.

    Toyota has really improved the performance of their engine lately, ... For the first time this year, I could keep up with the leaders without relying on race cautions to maintain contact with them. We are still lacking a bit of power to go for the win on a regular basis, but we are getting there. Toyota is really working hard to catch up to Honda. We are going to Watkins Glen next week for a day of testing in order to be more competitive for the penultimate race of the 2005 season.
