AGR NOTES - POST GATEWAY

Danica Patrick, #7 Motorola Dallara/Honda/Firestone "I am really disappointed with my result because the Motorola car was much better than a ninth place car. We took a gamble on our strategy and got burned by the yellow. We certainly wanted to end the season on a better note."

Tony Kanaan, #11 Team 7-Eleven Dallara/Honda/Firestone "Today was an exciting one for the fans and they saw a great race. It was a difficult weekend for me personally, but this was a good result for the Team 7-Eleven crew. Our goal coming into the weekend was to finish third in the championship and we were able to do that."

Marco Andretti, #26 NYSE Dallara/Honda/Firestone "We were able to take advantage of the cold tires on the restart and gain some positions at the end of the race. Unfortunately this was another character builder for us. We struggled with the car all weekend. To be able to finish in eighth, after the day we had, was a pretty good finish for the NYSE boys."

Hideki Mutoh, #27 Formula Dream Dallara/Honda/Firestone " wish we were able to finish the 2008 season with a better finish, but I am very thankful that the Formula Dream team for worked so hard. They were able to get car back out on track today. I won the Bombardier Rookie of the Year; however it hasn't hit me yet. I am happy but it's really hard to celebrate it after such a disappointing race."

Raphael Matos, #27 AFS Racing/Andretti Green Racing Dallara/Firestone "It was the best third-place finish of my life. We had a plan today for me to win the championship and Arie to win the race. He really deserved to win a race this year, and it worked perfectly for us. I'm very happy for him and I'm really happy for the AFS Racing/Andretti Green Racing team. They deserve this championship as much as I do."

Arie Luyendyk Jr., #26 Targus/AGR/AFS Dallara/Firestone "It was perfect. This is a dream scenario - me winning the race and Rafa winning the championship. It's more than words can describe. Green, white, checkered is always nerve-wracking. We got a good restart, thank God, and Rafa and I worked beautifully today. Ana (Beatriz) was definitely a tough competitor. My Firestone tires held up beautifully, it was amazing. The car was so consistent from lap one to the end. AGR, AFS, Targus, my sponsor, everyone helped out. It was just a beautiful weekend."
