Bryan Herta, #7 XM Satellite Radio Dallara/Honda/Firestone
          "It was another good day for the XM Satellite Radio team.  We are out here learning and
making progress on the car.  The rain changed around our plan for today.  We had planned an
aggressive day where we wanted to run a lot of laps.  But it is still early and we have the rest of
the week to get in everything we need."

Martin Pare, Race Engineer, #7 XM Satellite Radio Dallara/Honda/Firestone
          "The rain kind of changed our plans today.  It is still early enough for us to be able to do
everything we want and that is the name of the game here at Indy.  You have to be able to deal
with the weather and make adjustments on the fly.  The XM Satellite Radio car is right on
schedule and we are looking to continue to make good progress as the week goes on."
