TONY KANAAN (No. 11 Team 7-Eleven Dallara/Honda/Firestone, finished second): “I didn’t think we had the car to finish second tonight. I had a huge brake problems, but the Team 7-Eleven guys did a great job in the pits. I have to thank my team owners and engineers for the off-season development. We’re not quite there yet, but this is a very good race for the championship. ”
DARIO FRANCHITTI (No. 27 Canadian Club Dallara/Honda/Firestone, finished fourth): “The car wasn’t bad the first stint we slid around a little bit. We lost fifth gear after the first pit stop and we were sitting ducks on the restarts. A lot of people passed us there so we just kept soldiering on. We got into a great race with Vitor (Meira) at the end it was a lot of fun. It was a great job by Sam (Hornish Jr. ), he ran a hell of a race. And it was a great job by our team, a big difference from a year ago. ”
