Biography
|  |
|
After never quite getting into the heat of the championship battle last year, despite his best start to a season, the 2005 champion and Indy 500 winner will be hoping for some better luck and some stronger showings on the road courses. His determination and apparent inability to be intimidated should see him with a strong chance of repeating his glorious double-winning season.
Dan rates both Lance Armstrong and Peyton Manning as people he looks up to, primarily for their strength of character.
