TONY KANAAN

"You see me smiling, but we're not going to get carried away.  It was a good
day, but we're definitely taking this one day at a time.  We've had our
share of frustrations in the last few races, but the best thing is that
nobody on this team got down.  We stuck together and kept each other focused
on the job we have to do.  The results definitely showed out here today.  I
felt very comfortable in the car.  I learned a lot of things about my car
here that we're going to give to (teammate) Alex (Zanardi), and tomorrow we'
ll both be running up front.  I still think we have room to move up.  But,
again, we'll take this one day at a time and hopefully end up where we want
to be on Sunday, which is on the podium!"
