Last year, the race was pretty action-packed and I expect this year to be the same. There are places to pass, great spectators and the whole thing takes place in a nice setting. Last year, we had a good run but Sebastien took the win. I'm planning on returning the favor this year and putting the No. 3 car up front.

We've generally been pretty quick here but today for some reason we've been lost. It's a little frustrating. It doesn't feel like the same car I've been driving for the last three years. We're going to have to go over the data and see what changes we can make.

I wouldn't say that driving the car is any different. Once you get out there and start racing, your mentality, your thought process of what you do is the same as it's always been.

Well, definitely not the way I wanted to start the season. I'm very disappointed because I know that we had a car good enough to finish on the podium.

I really enjoyed having Nathan and his family as our guests. We got to spend some time together and chat for a while. Nathan had a huge smile on his face the whole time, he is a great kid and a huge Champ Car fan! I would really like to thank The Dream Maker and Terry Randal for creating such an unforgettable experience for Nathan, the Forsythe Team and myself.

I feel I've got a better car than in previous years here, but we still have to close the gap,
