92nd Indianapolis 500 Post-Race Quotes - Sunday, May 25

HELIO CASTRONEVES (#3 Team Penske Dallara/Honda/Firestone): "Well, fourth place, definitely not what we expected. We tried everything we could. We had a little issue with the debris. I was trying to avoid a slow car; I slammed on the brakes instead of hitting him. I pulled away and a piece of the debris hit my front wing so we had to stop to change that. The team, let me tell you, wow, what a team. I can't thank enough, Team Penske. What a great strategy. Tim Cindric and all my guys, led by Rick Rinaman, they were fantastic. We were patient. Unfortunately, overall, it was very difficult to pass. We were just trying to keep gaining spots. Wow, what an incredible team. I am extremely honored to be part of it. Now, let's think about the championship. Scott did an excellent job. Ganassi seems to be the favorite team right now, but, hey, the championship is still a long way and we're going to continue working hard." (About racing at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway) "This race is amazing. This place is magic. I remember Cindric on the radio, saying, 'Come on, man, we have work to do.' I'm like: 'What do you mean, buddy? Patience! I have to be patient so you have to be patient.' This place is amazing. I have to thank the fans for the support and the warm welcome again. To be here again and finish in the top five for me is great, so thank you everyone." more...
