Dan Wheldon Year Quotations

I had a Sonoma race where I was disappointed in the result, ... I wanted to make amends for that. That was the longest period of time I've ever had between races. From the last race of the year to the first race of the next season is a long time. It felt a lot longer than that.

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.

I think I've explained earlier on in the year that I kind of underestimated how important experience was in this series, especially when you're up against such good quality drivers.

I seem to win a lot of Honda's special races, ... I hope (Honda) is going to sponsor the Indy 500 next year because I love that race.

To win both in the same year I think is an unbelievable achievement. I thought I would be able to do it in my career, but not so early. You think you're asking for too much for a championship. It's taken all the energy out of me.

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.

I look back to when I was a rookie. You're up against guys that have been around, for not just a year or two, but you're talking 10 years.
