It will be the first big race where the two teams are head to head.

This was one of the hardest races of the whole year because of the wind. There was no easy part to it. Last year there was 75-degree weather for the road race, with no wind, and it was hot.

The smiles on the kids' faces, to have literally thousands of people cheering for them, it's just really exciting. It's just a great thing.

It's anybody's race. If they can win it, we can win it. It's that close. One mistake in a turn can cost you the race.

There may be something. But I'm not aware of another race that's still pending out there.

I see this as the gun that kind of starts the race each year. I look at our mission statement and constitution as the year goes by, and a lot of what I do during the year is directly related to what's written there.
