Jimmy Vasser Quotations

The car felt really good on new tires, ... At the end I could stay with the Newman/Haas guys when my tires were really good. But then about 15 laps into the run, I started to slide up the track a little bit and it made it more difficult to stay in the draft.

The Champ Car Hurricane 400 will benefit a very worthy cause, so I am proud and pleased to be a part of it,

Surfers Paradise has a great atmosphere and the circuit is very challenging. It's incredible that we have gone 14 years without a two-time winner, but I guess that is testimony to how tough the place really is.

It's just as tough or tougher to win a race here as it has ever been. It's a serious fight because there are a lot of good drivers in the field who have already had successes not only here but in other top series.

The Rolex 24 At Daytona is a great race with a lot of history and to compete in it with GAINSCO/Blackhawk Racing is a great opportunity for me. I am proud to be a part of the All-American lineup with talented young drivers like Alex and Rocky. I grew up in admiration of the success of both of their fathers. It will be exciting to race with them, and Bob as well, who proved in his rookie year last season that he's got what it takes.

Not a bad first day of practice for the PKV Racing team--Cristiano is fifth and I am sixth,

Outside of the car, she's English and very proper, ... But inside the car, she's forceful. She doesn't sit and wait. She goes after it.

The Gulfstream/PKV Racing team's race was about like we qualified. I qualified behind my teammate and finished behind my teammate, but the crew did a great job in the pits, which helped us pick up some positions,

We'll sit down as a team in mid January and look at all the data from the tests and make a decision from there. Katherine, along with the other drivers we've been looking at, will certainly be in the mix when we get to that point.

It was great. I think we already in practice showed that we were probably going to be up there. No surprises. The car was very good even with the wind. We knew that no other team was going to beat us, with or without wind strategy, ... We went out there with the big wind. It was very good.
