THEY LISTEN TO YOU - THEY HEARYOUR ARGUMENTS AND DO THEIR HOMEWORK. IF I WAS ABLE TO HELP THEN...GREAT! BUT, THE TRUE IS - THEY HELP MEMUCH MORE - GIVING ME GREAT CARS TO RACE AND SETTING NEW STANDARDS OF SAFETY AND TECHNOLOGY»TONY KANAAN8
Tony KanaanThis year you’re part of a verynew team, owned by MichaelAndretti, with a brand new car:how do you rate your chances inthe championships?"I’m very excited about the futureof the team and and I’m lookingforward to being a contenderagain in 2010. Everyone atAndretti Autosport is 100 percentfocused on winning races andchampionships. I can’t behappier with Michael Andretti asmy race strategist andveteran Pete Gibbons (Michaeland Mario Andretti’sengineer atNewman/HaasRacing in the1990s) as myengineer. The boss iswith me now. I thinkMichael, being a racecar driver, heunderstands all thepros and cons and Ialways have had a veryclose relationship withhim. He was the onewho hired me to drivefor him – to replace himactually – back in ’02and I came to the teamin the ’03 season. It’sawesome because I cantalk straight up and hewill know exactly whatI mean. I think he did a great jobhis first year calling the races forDanica so it’s always nice to havethe boss around.”You allready won the IndyCarChampionships and got the poleat Indy 500, but you never wonthe “the race”. If you couldchoose will you pick a newchampionships title or the fisrtwin in the Indy 500?Whenever I talk to my boss,Michael Andretti, about Indy, hetells me, “Don’t worry. You’regoing to win it.” This is comingfrom a guy who went through thesame thing but never won it.Should I believe him? Honestly, Ithink so. To do otherwise wouldbe detrimental. It also wouldn’tbe much fun. The key is toremain positive, and I haveplenty of reasons to do so. Everytime I’ve raced in the Indy 500,I’ve had a chance to win. Theonly way you can win the race isby being consistently fast in it.You have to be able to putyourself in position to win thisrace, and you can’t do that unlessyou’re fast. We’ve proven yearafter year that we can be fastin the Indianapolis 500. We haveput ourselves in position to winit. The next logical step is toactually win it.9
