    Just two days after winning the Indy 500 for the second time, Juan Pablo Montoya was in New York City on Tuesday, and spoke to SNTV about his joy in winning the 99th running of the classic race.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE (English) Juan Pablo Montoya, Indy 500 winner:

    (talking about the last few turns, as he held off Will Power to win the race)

    "To be honest with you it's like I pass him there's 3 or 4 (laps) to go or whatever or they didn't say because I was passing him and then I go and then I go through turn 4 and I see a white flag I'm going oh and here comes Will like please don't you know what I mean? And I'm just weaving, weaving so he doesn't get a good tow and run through turn 2 and I run really low and didn't give any room to get any clean air so he pushed off and I got opened it up a little bit when I got to turn 3 and I look in the mirror and he wasn't right on me I 'm like I think I got this looked out of turn 4 and he was still like this 3 cars behind and I was like AWW and that's why I lost my voice."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Juan Pablo Montoya, Indy 500 winner:

    (talking about rear wing damage caused when Simona de Silvestro hit his car)

    "We got a caution on lap 6 or 7 we're going to a restart and I get run from behind, before they even throw the green we were very luck that I guess she hit me hard enough that there was debris on the track so the caution came out again before the green and I managed to change all the rear wing so I had to start in the back of the field."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Juan Pablo Montoya, Indy 500 winner:

    (on joining the Penske race team that has fielded some great drivers)

    "One of the good things when you join Team Penske and you get to the team (building) in the lobby they have all the drivers helmets that have won Indy with their baby boards each one of them and to think my helmet is gonna be there and be part of that it's huge."
