PETER DEMPSEY, #26 TEAM ANDRETTI AUTOSPORT CAR

Finished the race in second place, his third podium finish of the 2011 season

"This is a fantastic result for everyone at Andretti Autosport. The name of the game was to come home first and second. The guys were working extremely hard all weekend. Stefan drove a great race. After we moved up to second, the goal was to not make any mistakes. I'm really happy with today's podium finish and have to thank the team for their help in making it happen."

STEFAN WILSON, #5 TEAM ANDRETTI AUTOSPORT CAR

Recorded his first Firestone Indy Lights win, making Andretti Autosport the first team to win a race in all four series of the Mazda Road to Indy in one season

"We were pushing Estaban [Guerrieri] hard those first five laps. The car was fast; I'm confident we would have been able to pass him even if he didn't make that mistake. From that point on, it was just about concentrating on hitting marks and getting some clean, quick lap times. I love this circuit and city, so the 25th anniversary race is a really special win for me. We're still a long way out for the championship. Right now for me, it's about getting race wins. I have to thank my teammate Peter for pushing me, Michael and the whole team for everything working up to this win today."
