Team Penske racing driver said:

"The most important thing for me is on-track success. So, how am I supporting my team? What are we doing for next year? How are we setting up? You know what were our weaknesses? What do we need to work on? That is my number 1 focus because I know everything else is built off of it. So you have to get your priorities straight. And I think any high achiever knows that, they know where their bread and butter is."
