My First Indy 500 Was One Of

I Would Tell Kids Not Be Like Me, But To Try And Be Better Than Me. Because I Always Wanted To Be Better Than Everyone I Was Around. That's What Drove Me. I Wanted To Be Better Than My Role Models. I'm Super Competitive.

I've Been Taught From A Young Age To Want To Be The Best Driver... It Was About Being The Best Driver And Not The Best Girl.

I Think You Can Be Happy And Still Be Competitive. A Good Lesson For Everybody Is To Think A Bit Before You Speak And Represent Who You Really Are Instead Of The Brash Emotional You.

Take Those Chances And You Can Achieve Greatness, Whereas If You Go Conservative, You'll Never Know. I Truly Believe What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger. Even If You Fail, Learning And Moving On Is Sometimes The Best Thing.

I'd Love To Do Well On A Big Weekend With People Watching And Cheering, Of Course. But It's Not Fair To Create An Expectation Level Before I Know What Is Realistic. I Want To Finish As Well As Possible. Is That Top 20? Top 15? Top 25? You Just Have To Play It By Ear.
