IndyCar Drivers Quotes After Opening Day Practice At Texas

ORIOL SERVIA (No. 5 KV Racing Technology Dallara/Honda/Firesotne): “These were very special conditions on a very different track. Although it looks the same as Homestead and Kansas it is bumpier. The wind today made it difficult for everyone to deal with, but I think KV Racing Technology is getting a little closer. We keep catching up and we are a little closer than last time we were at a mile and half track. We still have a way to go to get to the front, but we have a better base point to start from tomorrow. ”

WILL POWER (No. 8 Aussie Vinyards-Team Australia Dallara/Honda/Firestone): “That was a good session for KVRT Aussie Vineyards – Team Australia. We did a lot of race setups, which will help. I love the track, it’s good fun and I think the race is going to be real interesting. We just need to keep making good progress over the next couple of sessions and see if we can get a good race car. ”

ED CARPENTER (No. 20 Menards/Vision Racing Dallara/Honda/Firestone: “Typical Texas. It’s really hard to get more speed out of the car than you come here with. It seems like everyone’s car is changing quite a bit from new tires to old tires, so the pace may slow down quite a bit. I’m not sure if the racing going to be quite like it has been in the past because the tires seem to be falling off (wearing) more than normally. We’ll try to make it better tomorrow but I’m not sure how much more we’ll be able to improve from today. “

DANICA PATRICK (No. 7 Motorola Dallara/Honda/Firestone): “The Motorola car was fast tonight when we were not in traffic, but the minute we were in traffic, we got slow. Unfortunately, we did not have an opportunity to spend a great deal of time in traffic, so hopefully we will get a better feel tomorrow afternoon during the practice sessions. ”

HIDEKI MUTOH (No. 27 Formula Dream Dallara/Honda/Firestone): “Today was my first day driving at Texas Motor Speedway and it really is a tough track. I wanted to practice more in the traffic but I had few radio communication problems so I couldn’t. Hopefully we will be able to sort them out by tomorrow, and I want to get used to the track before the race on Saturday. ”
