Not trying to be melodramatic. Just didn't feel right letting the day pass without saying something.

Stay hungry, everyone.

I think about Gary every time I step out on a turn... marshalling isn't all fun and games...

RIP, Jeff and Gary.

What a terrible day that was. I'll never forget the silence that overcame the stand I was in on the front straight when the replay was shown on the big screens.

Jeff was the nicest driver I've ever come across in the paddock. I spent some time talking with him at Belle Isle, then again on Friday and Saturday in Toronto.

I can't watch a race from Toronto without thinking of him - and what might have been.

What many don't know is that Jeff was part of a driver shootout to fill an empty seat with Ganassi. He lost out to some guy named Zanardi, but was impressive enough that a few people went to Cal Wells - who also had an empty seat - and said, "You have to hire this guy."

Still think that MCI car was the purdiest of all time.
Not the best of memories in Toronto but perhaps most indellible.

I remember Jeff from a picture in RACER magazine. He was laying on his stomach on the nose of his champcar with his arms spread out like he was flying. I've since lost the magazine but that image has never left me.

It just doesn't seem like eight years.

I was at the track too. When they showed the replay the entire place yelled in horror, then the silence came. It was very surreal.
