Miller Lite 225 - Practice Notes/Quotes - Friday, June 1, 2001
The Milwaukee Mile - Milwaukee, Wis. - 1-Mile Oval
Round 6 of 21 on the 2001 CART FedEx Championship Series

Tony Kanaan and his #55 Hollywood/Mo Nunn Racing Honda-Reynard clocked the
fourth fastest lap around the Milwaukee Mile in today's one and only
practice session for Sunday's Miller Lite 225.  Rain washed out this morning
's scheduled 1-hour, 45-minute session.  Kanaan's best lap was a
22.547-second effort (an average of 164.776 mph) over the historic 1-mile
oval here.

Kanaan's teammate Alex Zanardi was right behind in the #66
Pioneer-WorldCom/Mo Nunn Racing Honda-Reynard, recording the fifth-fastest
lap of the day at 22.647 seconds (164.048 mph).  Helio Castroneves, fresh
off last weekend's Indy 500 victory, was fastest today at 22.300 seconds
(166.601 mph), followed by Cristiano da Matta at 22.463 seconds (165.382
mph) and Kenny Brack 22.535 seconds (164.864 mph).

Practice resumes Saturday morning at 9:30 a.m. local time (10:30 a.m. EDT)
with qualifying set to begin at 1:30 p.m. local time (2:30 p.m. EDT).   Race
time Sunday is 3 p.m. local time (4 p.m. EDT) and it will be broadcast live
by ABC-TV.

TONY KANAAN

"It was definitely a good day from a team standpoint.  I mean 'teamwork'
when I say that.  Alex and I were both trying different things with our cars
and we both ended up in the top five.  That's not where I want to be when
this is all over.  I want to be running up front, and I know we are capable
of being the fastest cars out there.  Now we have to go to work and figure
out the best things we learned today.  Then we'll start fresh in the morning
and try to move up in the order with both of our cars."
