ALEX ZANARDI

"Well, the good news is that my car was better than it has been all weekend.
My problem that session was that I tapped the wall and hurt my suspension
just enough to make the car not so good.  We have our work cut out for us
tomorrow.  We'll have to run a strategic race because you have to fight so
hard for every position on the racetrack, which is typical of a street
track.  Sundays have been our best days all year, so we'll keep our fingers
crossed that tomorrow will be our best Sunday of the season."
