Marco Andretti, Kansas 2007
Obviously we always see the good days, but Gil de Ferran told me if you can have a bad day and nobody notices, that's how you do a really good job - and that's how you win a championship.

Why do you think there are so many skid marks? It's not because it's a lovely corner.
