MARCO ANDRETTI, #26 TEAM DR PEPPER CAR

Finished the second practice session with a fastest lap speed of 102.373 mph

"We weren't able to get a true feel for the Dr Pepper car in the second session today. After our first run we decided to make some changes that would take us back toward the set-ups that my teammates are running. But we had some problems making the changes and were still in the pits when the checkered came out. It's a little frustrating but we'll make some changes tonight and go back at it tomorrow morning."

MIKE CONWAY, #27 TEAM @FOLLOWANDRETTI CAR

Ended the second session with a fastest lap speed of 102.610 mph

"This morning was OK. We were playing around with some different things and we seemed to find a bit of a direction. This afternoon, we just didn't learn anything. The car just didn't feel good, but we know what it is and we just have to improve on it, basically. We'll just go back, see what we have and go from there."

RYAN HUNTER-REAY, #28 TEAM DHL/ CIRCLE K/SUN DROP CITRUS SODA CAR

Ended the first session in P3 with a fastest lap speed of 102.458 mph

"We were third-quick in the first session, so we had a good morning - and I think we were having a good afternoon. The DHL/Circle K/Sun Drop car was feeling pretty good; we were in the top five until we decided not to take new tires like most of the top 10 did. But, we'll just save those for tomorrow and hopefully it will pay off for us."

DANICA PATRICK, #7 TEAM GoDaddy.com CAR

Finished the day with a fastest lap speed of 103.248 mph during the second session

"We weren't having the best session this morning, but we made some gains on the GoDaddy.com car this afternoon. We're still not quite where we want to be especially with qualifying as competitive as it is here. Hopefully we'll keep heading in the right direction tomorrow."
