Danica Patrick (DP): Good. I think that we're close which is important, and to always be in the hunt. I wanted to try and get pole so that I could ensure a front row tomorrow. Usually if you are close one day you will stay close the next.

AS: This isn't your first time in Vancouver.

DP: I came here two years ago for Barber Dodge. I really like Vancouver; I like the track a lot. I was disappointed last year when it wasn't on the schedule.

AS: What's your favorite race track of the events you've been to?

DP: It depends on the city too. I mean this one was a great one two years ago. I really do like it. I like Toronto too because that's got a really good feel to it. Montreal is a great one too. I like all the Canadian races to be honest.

AS: Along side your racing career, I've watched you on the TV show Zero-60. How do you manage to find the time to do everything?

DP: This (racing) is my only job. Other than the 12 race weekends and the test days, I devote all my time to TV and you know. What else am I going to do, sit on my butt?!
