Buddy Rice on The Milwaukee Mile:
I can’t remember if I came here in a Dallara last year or not but that could be different running here with that. Obviously we had a really good pace at Indy and being knocked out was disappointing for us. If we can have a strong result here at Milwaukee to go along with our two Top-10 finishes earlier this season that will get us rolling again. People don’t really associate Indy and Milwaukee because they are both so flat but there is some cross over there. It’s great to come here, one for the historic reasons of A. J. and what he has been able to do and two for the fact that it follows the Indy 500. It should hopefully be a very good weekend for us though it will be short. Hopefully we can come out of here with some solid points. ”
