Quotes:

Roberto Guerrero, No. 50 CBR Cobb Racing Infiniti/G Force/Firestone (14th fastest): "It was our first time out. It wasn't the best time to go out, with the conditions. But then again, you can learn some things. With the wind, we just can't afford to go out and bend a race car. I'm convinced we have a good package. You can't really judge changes you make when the wind is this strong."

Practice will be televised live tomorrow from 5 to 7 p.m. eastern time on ESPN2. A live timing and scoring feed is also available on the www.indyracingleague.com web site.
