    Q) BIG NEWS TODAY ABOUT CHEVROLET COMING BACK TO THE INDYCAR SERIES. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO YOU?
    Stewart: ‘I am excited about it. I think its something that’¦’¦’¦’¦’¦.this Honda program they had over there was a joke anyway. I mean the way that they did it and the way the guys were limited on practice time’¦’¦..it was just a fiasco. So thank God we finally have an American-made engine back at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.’
    Q) DOES THAT INCREASE THE ODDS THAT WE WILL SEE YOU IN AN INDYCAR OR AS A TEAM OWNER?
    Stewart: ‘No. No, no, no and no. I dont have any extra time to do any of that right now.’(Team Chevy)(11-13-2010)
