Danica Patrick, #7 Motorola Dallara/Honda/Firestone: “The car felt really good today during both practice sessions. The key to all road courses is track position, so hopefully we can get the Motorola car into the Firestone Fast Six tomorrow and have a good finish. I feel really good about this weekend.”
Tony Kanaan, #11 Team 7-Eleven Dallara/Honda/Firestone: “The Team 7-Eleven car was pretty strong today. We are still chasing some guys but I am pretty happy. Overall, I think we should have a good day tomorrow.”
Marco Andretti, #26 Meijer Dallara/Honda/Firestone: “We weren’t very good today and it was evident by looking at our times. The good news is we know what we need to do to make the Meijer car better. We have some time before qualifying tomorrow so hopefully we can find some speed.”
Hideki Mutoh, #27 Formula Dream Dallara/Honda/Firestone: “It was a very frustrating day for the Formula Dream team. We made some setup changes but we couldn’t get results that we anticipated and it felt like we were not moving towards the right direction. We will look into the data we got from today and hopefully we can improve the car for the qualifying tomorrow.”
Franck Montagny, #26 XM Satellite Radio Acura: “Tomorrow will obviously be better for the XM Acura team. It’s a little bit difficult to go into qualifying without having any testing on the track. This is the first time I’ve been here, I don’t know the track or the tricks you need here. And, we did a couple of laps on the ‘wets’ (rain tires) today, also, and they are absolutely not the same. So, there were a lot of things that cost us some speed today, but I think we will be in a much better position for the race tomorrow.”
