Howard and me set the first and third fastest times of the day, and we both got beaten to grid slot 33 by a kid in Methodist Hospital with a smoking wreck of a car. The magic of Indy, huh?

It's the biggest race in the world. It's not supposed to be easy.

I just kept focused, focused, focused, all day long, getting every corner perfect.
