My fourth win at Indy was the best for a lot of reasons. The first will always have its place because of being the first, but having won on my second attempt, I didn’t appreciate what it was going to take to do it and how fortunate we were to win it that early. As I grew a little older and got a little wiser, I was able to appreciate the whole history of the Speedway more.
Then the way the race itself all came out was textbook. My normal game plan, from Day 1, never really changed. It’s the same whether it’s a 50-lap race or a 200-lap race. I spend the first half getting to the second half. Then, if we’re not where we need to be, the second half is getting to where we need to be.
