I think if you show respect on the track to each other, and you do clean overtaking moves, then they get respect for you.
F1 is giving penalties for people making mistakes instead of for people driving dirty. And that is wrong. Mistakes happen. You run into each other: that's life, that's racing, and too bad.
What we do is just race hard on the track every week. That's the way I'd like it to be documented, and if we watch the tape, we'll see that the No. 48 swerved into us first and I know that, before even watching the tape.
A lesser but still fundamental rule of racing is that you properly enter the event. Anyone who doesn't but still insists on running interferes with the paying customers.
It's very good to know when you're being lapped on the racetrack, 'cause you've got to put your foot down on the pedal and get going.
I'd never be disrespectful to road racing. The sport was good to me.
A. J. Allmendinger is really hard to pass. He races really, really hard for every position. And you know, that's his right. But it's very frustrating at times.
If he'd just crowded me down to the side of the asphalt, I'd have been OK. But when he ran me completely off the racetrack, I lost it.
