One race win isnt enough. I want to get another.

He feels like a veteran when you work with him now, you know, it's like two different hats. Still have the Dad hat when we go home, but when we're at the racetrack it's all professional and it's been a lot of fun to be part of this with him.

Growing up I had a lot of arrogance and I didn’t want to hear anything that my dad had to say, and then I realized — bigger, faster cars — I learned more about the sport and I was like ‘Hey, he actually knows what he’s talking about.’.

We’re just doing our thing. When you’re in the moment and in the zone, I feel really comfortable, that’s what I want to be doing. I know he’s the same. I can hear it in his voice. That’s maybe the advantage of being on the radio, that we know each other so well, that there’s just a lot of unspoken communication. I can tell where he was at, I can tell just by his voice that he felt in control. He felt he had what he needed. So I just trying to let him do his thing, and he did it.

When he first moved to IndyCar, people used to ask me if I thought he was better than I was, but no one asks anymore, that’s OK. I’m good with that.
