Bryan Herta, #7 XM Satellite Radio Dallara/Honda/Firestone
          "We made some good gains with the feel of the XM Satellite Radio car and that is
the key early in the week, getting the car to feel the way I want.  We still haven't been
working on a trimmed out race car yet.  Indy always feels better when you're going
faster.  That little bit of extra speed gives you a little more downforce and a little more
grip. You know the faster you go, the better it feels."

George Klotz, Team Manager, #7 XM Satellite Radio Dallara/Honda/Firestone

that make the car go quick and we were able to make a lot of runs.  Today was our best
day yet."
