From the top 3 finishers press conference for the Firestone Indy 400 at Michigan International Speedway...
Q. When Hornish was driving off in the sunset, he had close to an eight-second lead. Were you beginning to think, "They gave them a little bit too much of a break," as a Toyota driver?
ALEX BARRON: Who was that?
Q. Hornish, eight seconds ahead.
ALEX BARRON: Did you say the Cosworth? [my note] :laugh: [/my note]Did I misunderstand?
Q. Do you think they gave him a break.
ALEX BARRON: I get it. Sorry. I'm a little slow. Yeah, I mean, I was running with him for 20 laps straight. Like five laps from the end, I don't know if the funny button got pushed or what, but he took off. He had a little bit more power. I was talking on the radio saying, "Something happened. The engine changed note and he's pulling forward a little bit." I didn't know what it was. I didn't have one of those so I was a little bit worried (laughter). He seemed to come back the last two laps. He seemed to come back somewhere to what my speed was, then he just got a good run.
