Helio Castroneves Sure Quotations

Obviously, we are extremely disappointed. I thought we were finally going to finish. I'm not sure what happened to the car.

I think it will be important to make sure I'm in the best condition possible for this weekend. At the beginning of the season, I began preparing for the road courses by lifting more weights and trying to improve my conditioning. I've found that the combination of swimming and then running really adds a new dimension to my overall performance as I have built my stamina significantly over the past several months.

I was just trying to get the side draft. We were trying to get so slow. I wasn't sure if Sam was trying to pass or push. I didn't know which way he was going. I really thought the finish line was ahead of me. I was thinking, 'Look! It's right up there!' And they were telling me on the radio that the race was over.

I tell you, if we would be like NASCAR - have bumpers - for sure I would have won the race. But this is not NASCAR.

I'm sure it's going to be faster. And hopefully we're right on top of it.

Close to the end, when I saw Sam coming, I tried to make a move. I tried to take advantage of the momentum, put me side by side with Dan. But it just was not enough. If we would be like NASCAR and have bumpers, I'm sure we would have won the race by now.

It was just not enough. If we were like NASCAR and had bumpers, I'm sure I would have won the race.
