Tony Kanaan, #11 Team 7-Eleven Dallara/Honda/Firestone
"I hate to sound like a broken record, but today was a lot like yesterday. We struggled a little bit in
the morning with the Team 7-Eleven car and then found ourselves late in the afternoon. I feel more
confident than yesterday, for sure. I think we're on the right track and now we just need to chase the
speed."

Eric Cowdin, Race Engineer, #11 Team 7-Eleven Dallara/Honda/Firestone
"We made good progress today with the Team 7-Eleven car. We made some changes overnight
last night that didn't pan out very well for us, but we have a set agenda that we need to work through. We
sat down as a group - engineers and drivers - and made a new plan for this afternoon, and it really
benefited all four drivers. As a team, we've picked up a lot of speed. It gives us a really good baseline
heading into the rest of the week."
