Dan Wheldon Team Quotations

Now when we get to Watkins Glen, that's going to be the slowest lap in history. I'm going to tell the team not to expect me to set a flyer on that first one.

Well, you know, she was something different. But I don't begrudge her anything. I can look back at what I've accomplished with my team this year and be very happy. And, I suspect, she feels the same.

But I have to say I'm incredibly proud of the Panther Racing National Guard Team, and in my IndyCar career there's not many races where I've honestly left the track feeling that we've executed everything perfectly. And I have to say, I thought they did an absolute phenomenal job. The pit stops were just first class.

As competitive as all of us have been, the relationships have stayed very, very close, and that has been a very enjoyable experience for me. We push each other harder than anyone else out there. Our goal for next year is to all stay together and stay the winning team that we have become.

Certainly, the team has given me very fast cars week in, week out, ... I've been able to take advantage of some unfortunate situations. We've been quick, and if something has happened, fortunately, I've been the one first to pick up the pieces.

This team has a great history; it wins the big races. And that's what I love to do.
