Quotes by Johnny O'Connell

“Racing with Team Cadillac and having Andy as a teammate is going to be a great experience. Based on the performance of the cars over the past two years, Im confident well have good equipment. Ive watched the close competition in the World Challenge as a television commentator, and Im looking forward to being in the middle of the action as a driver. My job is to win races - thats the objective of everyone at Team Cadillac.”

“The traffic was really dicey. We were having a great battle with the Porsche, Andy and I did everything we could to try and get back up to the front. They ran a good race. The car is good, but in 24 hour races you have to have things go your way.”

“Personally I like the hype. This is really the best of the best: Europes best taking on Americas best. Both teams are very strong and hungry. The fans I know are in for a treat.”

“Maybe its my years of road racing experience, but working the traffic really helped me today. I was running fourth at one point, and when we came up on traffic, I think I read what was going to happen and passed two guys in one move.”

“I think that a switch might have shut off when I hit the bump in Turn 5. By the time I figured out what had happened, a bunch of cars went by.”
