Dan Wheldon, #26 Klein Tools/Jim Beam Dallara/Honda/Firestone
          "We worked on the race setup of the Klein Tools/Jim Beam car.  I think we are at a little bit of an
advantage because we (AGR) have four cars.  It allows us to utilize all four cars to run race simulations.  I
don't think we have the setup right just yet.  But here at Indy it is tough. This is a difficult place to get the car
right in traffic.  We are going to work on that when we get back on track this week."

Eddie Jones, Race Engineer, #26 Klein Tools/Jim Beam Dallara/Honda/Firestone
          "Up until now we have been concentrating on the qualifying setup and really today was our first full
fuel run.  We think we have a pretty good baseline on the Klein Tools/Jim Beam car but we still have some
work left to do.  The weather conditions were nice today, and I think the might be representative of what we
will see on race day.  It was a good opportunity for us to collect some data."
