MARCO ANDRETTI, #26 TEAM VENOM ENERGY DRINK CAR

* Will start the Milwaukee 225 in P9

"The Venom car will start ninth tomorrow and I think we can get the job done from there. This is always a fun race but the track is really tough on equipment because there's no banking. If you get the balance off even a little bit it can hurt you. You really want to start mid-pack or better and make sure you don't go a lap down - the leaders are going to be fast. We're in the ballgame so hopefully we get it right tomorrow and have a strong finish."

MIKE CONWAY, #27 TEAM DHL/SUN DROP CITRUS SODA CAR

* Starts the race in P20

"The DHL/Sun Drop car was OK. We just need a little bit more in terms of balance, but I think it was OK. It was better than what we did earlier on, so that was the main thing. It's very, very close here, so we'll see what happens tomorrow."

RYAN HUNTER-REAY, #28 TEAM GoDaddy.com CAR

* Starts tomorrow's race from P7

"Our run was pretty good, but I thought it was going to be a lot quicker than that. The GoDaddy.com car was great. We'll look at it; we'll go back to the transporter and make sure we have a great race car. In the warm-up that we had earlier today, it was really good on the bottom, so I'm looking forward to it. Being back at Milwaukee is just excellent for the IndyCar Series. We had a good turnout for qualifying today; thanks to all the fans for coming out. I think it's going to be a great show tomorrow."

DANICA PATRICK, #7 TEAM GoDaddy.com CAR

* Will start the race in P15

"I'm disappointed we didn't have the speed we were looking for today. I was hopeful that after our solid practice sessions that the GoDaddy.com car would have qualified better. We will have to work hard tomorrow to work our way through the field."
