Paul Tracy Drive Quotations

Richard is planning to do a 500-mile engine reliability test and I'd hope to do that for him. Then, we're hoping I can drive a race later this year at either Atlanta or Homestead, which are both tracks that should suit me pretty well.

I'd like to go Cup racing and Busch racing full time, but I've got to start somewhere and get my feet wet. The biggest question mark people have for me is, can I drive one of these cars? I'm doing one of each type of venue, hopefully try to do the best I can and maybe open up some doors.

I'm really looking forward to the 2006 Champ Car season, we had some unfinished business last year when we led more laps than anybody but had a lot of bad luck. I've been in a few other types of race cars recently and can say that there's nothing more enjoyable and challenging to drive than a Champ Car.

I have the greatest respect for the guys that drive Cup cars week in and week out. It takes a lot of preparation to be ready for a highly competitive event like the Nextel Cup Series and we just didn't have the time to do the job right. I want to thank Richard for giving me this opportunity and the crew guys at the test for all of their effort.
