   Dario Franchitti on the Toyota Indy 300
   "I'm obviously very excited to get back to racing. Testing is one thing, but racing is what
   it's all about. I'm really looking forward to this first race at Homestead in the ArcaEx car.
   The team has done a very good job over the winter and we're hoping to do very well. I
   think all four of the Andretti Green drivers are heading into this first race feeling like we
   can win. Certainly, there is no way to predict the future, but I think all four of us feel like
   we're starting out in a good position."

   Kyle Moyer, General Manager, Andretti Green Racing:
   "The ArcaEx team is really excited to get going, especially with Dario back in the car. I
   know he is really ready to go and I know the guys are all glad to have him back in the
   car. Everybody is really looking forward to getting back to the level we were at before his
   injury. We've been talking about this race since he got out of the car last year at Pikes
   Peak and now it's here. It's good for the whole team that we're back to the original plan
   because I felt that it went really well in the few races we ran with Dario last year. I think
   he can be really good in this series. It will be good to get started with a clean slate this
   weekend and get on down the road."
