Steve Johnson Last Quotations

I am extremely excited to join the Champ Car team as President. I have been amazed at the progress the series has made over the last twelve months and look forward to continuing the momentum and successes long into the future.

It was important to get a lead. Ridley has been a second-half team, but we kept working at it. Last week was a tough loss, but we decided to let it go and get the job done. The defense did a good job.
