Driver: Danica Patrick
Car: #7 Boost Mobile/Motorola Dallara/Honda/Firestone
Position: 14th
Speed: 116.890 mph

Danica Patrick:
“I really think the #7 car is decent. We got caught in some traffic, but our time was improving each lap. I think if we would been able to turn a few more laps we would have been faster. Hopefully tomorrow’s qualifying run will be strong and so we can go into the race on Sunday confident.”

Driver: Tony Kanaan
Car: #11 Team 7-Eleven Dallara/Honda/Firestone
Position: 4th
Speed: 118.084 mph

Tony Kanaan:
“It was a good day. I think the test here helped us a lot. The track was really dirty so it’s hard to judge. Tomorrow is definitely going to be a different day with all the cars running yet tonight and in the morning, but I’m pleased. It’s been a while since we’ve been in the top-five in the first session on a road course, so it feels good.”

Driver: Marco Andretti
Car: #26 Meijer Dallara/Honda/Firestone
Position: 8th
Speed: 117.387 mph

Marco Andretti:
“Not a bad way to start the weekend for the Meijer boys. We definitely gained some good information when we tested here a couple weeks ago and I think that showed today. Hopefully we can use today’s practice notes and put them to use them for a strong result for the #26 car this weekend.”

Driver: Hideki Mutoh
Car: #27 Formula Dream Dallara/Honda/Firestone
Position: 16th
Speed: 115.872 mph

Hideki Mutoh:
“The track was pretty slick and greasy at the beginning of the session this afternoon. I was sliding around and spun out so it was hard to get a real feel of the car. We were pretty fast at the beginning of practice today, so I think we will be strong tomorrow during qualifying.”
