MC:
We are now joined by Will Power. Will, a second place run out there for you. Your best ever finish while in the IndyCar Series. Talk about your run out there today.

Will Power:
Yeah, it was good. It was the very sort of the result that I needed. We didn't have communication. I couldn't hear them on the radio, so we were using the (pit) boards, but the guys did a great job.

The power was good throughout the race. I was saving some serious fuel at the end. I wasn't sure whether I could make it because we didn't have the communication working on my dash. But we had a really good result with the Verizon Wireless 12 car.

MC:
Did the heat play a factor out there today?

WP:
No, I was fine. I really felt fit. It didn't affect me at all.

Q:
You mentioned that you had no radio and no telemetry; is that correct, in the car?

WP:
Yeah, it was just a small wiring problem. We brought the car here and it's just a little issue. So it wasn't a big deal. We used the board, and I could just hear the radio in a small section of the front straight. You know, we got it done, we got what we needed done.

Q:
So you worked pit board only?

WP:
Pit board, and a small bit of radio. I couldn't talk back, but I could hear.

Q:
Ever see a guy so happy to finish 7th? And how are your feelings? You have to have mixed emotions today. You left here second place, and now you've got to wait a couple of weeks to get in the car?

WP:
I'm just happy to be given an opportunity, especially with this team, Team Penske's very special. To run the Indy 500 with these guys is going to be great. It's going to give me a good opportunity to run right up in the front. They've had a lot of success there, as you know. So I'm looking forward to the month of May.

Q:
What was your mindset coming into this weekend? And what was your focal point at the start of the race?

WP:
Coming into the weekend I was aware that possibly Helio could return, because his case was coming to an end. So halfway through Friday I was told that Helio was coming back, and we'd be going to a third car.

But I remained focused the whole time. Each session I just took it as it came. I did the best job possible. You know, if you keep working hard, you have a bit of good luck.

Q:
Can you talk us through the sequence of events when I guess it was Dario and Rafa (Matos) got past you down at the far end of the racetrack. Did it have anything to do with Mike Conway being in the tires in turn one? Just can you take us through that whole thing?
