Tony Kanaan, #11 Team 7-Eleven Dallara/Honda/Firestone
          "I think the Team 7-Eleven car is okay. We need to keep working. The temperature has changed
quite a bit from the other days to today. It was just a long day waiting for the rain to stop and then the rain
came back, but that's Indy. One day to go, then it will be time to go and then we can focus on the race."

Tony Kanaan Facts
       Rain showers delayed the start of practice today by nearly four hours.
       Kanaan's fast speed (on Wednesday) also stands as the best speed recorded at Indianapolis Motor
       Speedway since practice opened on Sunday.
       Kanaan started second and finished third in last year's Indianapolis 500.
       Kanaan is coming off a second-place finish in the series' last event at Twin Ring Motegi on April 17.

Eric Cowdin, Race Engineer, #11 Team 7-Eleven Dallara/Honda/Firestone
          "I think the balance is about right where we need it. We just need to trim the Team 7-Eleven car
for conditions. Obviously, it's going to be cooler for us on Saturday and I think we got a taste of that
today. The run today was clean, by ourselves, so I think we're in the ballpark. I think we just need to
optimize for conditions on Saturday and we'll be in good shape."
