"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."

everything we want and that is the name of the game here at Indy. You have to be able to deal
