AS: What is your favorite street car?

DP: I've always said I loved the 360 Ferrari. I'm sure it'll change by the time I can afford one!

AS: What kind of car do you own right now?

DP: I don't own a car but I have a Mercedes, an SLK 230.

AS: Have you always known you wanted to race cars, or was it something that just fell into your lap?

DP: It is something that evolved since I was 10-years-old to where it is now. I couldn't say that at the beginning that I was going to make a career out of it. Low and behold here I am and I would drop anything for it. It's all about finding what you're good at and what you love to do.

AS: Do you have any free time to spend here in Vancouver, or in any race city with your tight schedule of practices and qualifying, and press conferences?

DP: Sometimes I do, and sometimes I don't. Luckily enough this weekend I have the nights to myself so I can go out to dinner with my family.
