2003 recap
The good: Led every lap from the pole to win Elkhart Lake and duplicated that feat a few weeks later at Denver.

The bad: Running second at Miami when he ran into leader Adrian Fernandez and wound up ninth but effectively lost the championship.

Key stat: Started in top three 11 of 18 races.

2004 outlook
What needs to be done: Maybe a little more patience because lack of it cost him dearly in 2003.

Key change: Moved from Indianapolis to Miami.

Prediction: Everyone's choice to win the '03 title had a couple of big hiccups near the end and finished second to Paul Tracy. He'll be strong again in '04 just like his teammate.
