Bruno Junqueira, NHR Driver from 2003-2006 (4 seasons, 48 starts)
“Newman/Haas Racing is the best team I ever drove for. The key to success is having the same people around for a long time. Everybody knows each other and works as a family. Carl and Paul are there for the love of winning races. I am glad that I could give Newman/Haas Racing some good results. My favorite win with Newman/Haas was in Australia in 2004. That is a great race and after being so close to winning it the two previous years, it was nice to do it for myself and the team. ”
Sebastien Bourdais, NHR Driver from 2003-2006, NHLR from 2007 (5th season)
PRIOR TO THE 100TH WIN:
“There are a whole lot of extremely famous names on the list before me and I’m proud to have contributed my share of wins. Back in 2003 when I arrived I surely did not expect to score so many wins or be so successful at Newman/Haas. It takes a lot of talent and consistency from management and the team to achieve so much. At the beginning I didn’t know what to expect but I got much more than a team out of it – I got a second family. It’s awesome to share so much on track and off. ”
Oriol Servia, NHR Driver in 2005 (11 of 13 races for injured Junqueira)
“I must say I believe we are in this business because in one way or another we are all attracted to one thing, winning! As the numbers show, at Newman/Haas they are the masters at it. It is a team that not only wins, but they do it in the classiest way. They beat the competition by looking at them straight in the eye and just proving that day after day they can do a better job than the rest. They have been in this business for a long time and they have learned that to win it takes a lot of things going your way and they make sure they make that happen. They hire the best people, they keep them together, they work harder than anybody and, most importantly, they are able to keep that healthy competitive spirit that no one can buy or artificially create. That is what makes a group of people achieve extraordinary results.
“It makes me proud to say that I have been part of that special group. Winning with them meant a lot to me. Now it means even more when I think I have helped them build up that amazing number of 100 victories. 100 wins is such a major number that in any sport and discipline it imposes huge respect. Whoever is responsible for it should be awarded with an all-time gold star medal in the sport. In this case without a doubt, Carl and Paul are the ones that have inspired and directed the team to be what it is today and keep that magical spirit that Newman/Haas has. No doubt that number will keep growing. ”
