Scott Sharp - #8 Delphi Panoz/Honda/Firestone:
"I'm really excited to return to Watkins Glen. I think we left a little bit on the table last year, but with the knowledge we have gained on the road courses, I fully expect us to be strong there this weekend. I have so many memories from this track going back to when I followed my dad around as a kid. I have won here in a variety of cars, and really love this track. It is awesome to drive and a great place for the fans to come out and enjoy a great show."
