Greg Zipadelli

I feel like it's the best place we've been in a long time, our shop is working way better. The communication and the helping is better.

He's as relaxed and as focused and as excited as I've seen him in three or four years, the last few years have been trying on everybody, including himself. But he realized he needed to get focused and come back in a better place. He's really truly glad to be here. Smoke wants to prove to the world that he's not done, and we all know that can be a dangerous thing.

The one in 2008, when Newman passed him coming to the line, that one hurt, they all hurt because we want to win. And we have all these times where we say we could have won it, at least three or four where we simply had a phenomenal race car. Things go differently, maybe he's won four or five of these.
