After the last two years where I have had some  great results it has been a very frustrating season as I  thought I was going to be in a situation where I could build  on these previous successes.

I apologise to all my fans  in Australia and Mexico that I won't be driving there for them  to cheer on this year however, I have an incredible fan base  that have supported me throughout my Champ Car career and I  look forward to celebrating great results with them in the  future.

I will now focus my efforts on securing a  competitive drive for 2006."
