SCOTT DIXON - # 18 POWERWARE PANASONIC PACWEST TOYOTA

Position: 20th Time: 23.319s Speed: 228.792

"We had a pretty average run", said Dixon. "I was the first car out there after Oriol Servia's car dropped oil on turns one and two. Because of the oil spill I ran a different line, which was a lot higher than we had planned. We weren't able to run as quick as we wanted to, but I'll be quicker tomorrow. We've run the car with different set-ups, so we're prepared going into the race tomorrow. The track is a lot faster than I thought and there's a lot of turning and movement. It's a long race tomorrow, and a very demanding one, so I'm fortunate my physical level is high. There will be plenty of opportunity to pass, so we should be in good shape."
