Once you win a National Championship, how do you do that again? How do you get the passion to do that again? We won it again right away, the next year. A lot of it had to do with the fact that I didn't give myself an opportunity to enjoy the first one.

It's going to be a pack race, and you never know how that's going to turn out.
Dan Wheldon
