MODERATOR: Danica Patrick joins us. Of course, she’s looking for her third start here in Indianapolis. We look back to an interesting ride. We first met over on the fourth floor of the Media Center, when she first announced her intentions to run at the Indianapolis in 2005, and that was a memorable race, indeed, for her and our fans.
And then in many respects, some insiders believe that her performance last year was even better, working to find some speed and going through what can be an awfully hard month here at Indianapolis and coming home again with the quality of runs.
Danica, I think with the team you’re with, with a team that has proven they can win and win here, we can only imagine that you’re pretty excited about your chances.
DANICA PATRICK: Yeah, I think that as the years go on, you get more experience, and this is a place I think that experience pays off. The team has made incredible strides over the wintertime to get faster and get up to speed better. I don’t think we’re there yet. I think that Ganassi is pretty quick still and a various couple (others). But overall, we’re a lot better off. I think it’s going to be a good race this year. Just like always, you’ve got to be lucky. You’ve got to catch the right breaks and try not to pit before a caution flag like every time last year I did, and maybe – yeah. I think I was about to go a lap down about three times last year. So I got to drive around plenty last year. No, I think this is going to be a good year. We’ve started off well. It doesn’t mean that you can’t fall off, but it does mean you’re right there to go forward. I don’t think we’ve found the true potential of the car, just like I’m sure nobody else has, but I think it’s a good place to start.
