SAM HORNISH JR. (No. 6 Team Penske Dallara/Honda/Firestone, seventh fastest of the day): “I think we ran some pretty good lap times today. We definitely think there’s more left in the Team Penske car, so I’m looking forward to getting a bit more track time tomorrow. We’re fairly comfortable right now, and I think after practice tomorrow, we will be in good shape for qualifying. “
DANICA PATRICK (No. 7 Motorola Dallara/Honda/Firestone, second fastest of the day): “I’ve kind of always said we’re all out there at the end of the day trying to get our fastest laps. It’s cooling off, it’s faster, you get a tow here and there. That’s kind of what I did. I’m not that much different than anyone else. Everyone else goes out there, and it’s not like I’m looking for a tow, but you get one. You need to be able to do it, at least. If you can at least do the time, you know it’s in the car. I’m not going to say we’re doing 226’s out there on our own, but at least the car will pull that time.
