What a great experience. These kids all could be future Champ Car stars if 'Big Wheel' talent means anything. It is always fun to get out into the community and have special events like this.

It was incredible to see the reception we received in my hometown of Mexico City. The media in Mexico do a great job covering Champ Car and now we know they are also very good football players.

It's not easy to be fast on this track. You really have to be on the edge. The track is very slippery, but it's fun to drive on the edge like this.

It's going to be fun watching these two guys go at it because they've been having a good battle all year. I'm going to have the best seat in the house.

People are always asking what it's like to have Paul ... The truth is that the image that Paul gives before the television and the press and on the track is completely the opposite of how he is in person.

We seem to have an overall grip problem. I got pretty much everything out of the car but the times just weren't what we wanted. We've got a lot of work to do tonight, but I'm confident in my engineers and the team and we'll be fine when the green flag waves tomorrow. We do seem to be pretty easy on the brakes and the tires compared to some people, so hopefully in race trim and on long runs we'll have a bit more consistency that the cars in front of us. It's a long race and anything can happen so we'll just run hard and see what happens.
