It was a superb race all day. I knew [<span class=\"xn-person\">Takuma] Sato<\/span> was going to be strong at the end, but I didn&#8217;t realize how strong he was coming. We were kind of going into a reserve mode, looking after the engine, and he was there with a head of steam. [the margin of victory was just 0.1404 seconds] I am just so happy for this team. Last week at <span class=\"xn-location\">Indianapolis<\/span> [when he finished second to Sato] was a bit of a bummer. So, it was nice to get a win. Fifty career-wins \u2013 that sounds awesome. We&#8217;ve got to keep on truckin&#8217; and get a few more. But I can&#8217;t thank Honda and HPD enough. I&#8217;m proud to be powered by them.\u00a0 What they&#8217;ve done, especially this year, is just phenomenal, and how quick their cars have been.
