Dan Wheldon, Driver, #26 Klein Tools/Jim Beam Dallara/Honda/Firestone
        "It was difficult out there. I lifted going through Turn 1 on my first two laps, but the
Klein Tools/Jim Beam car was very strong and we're happy with our starting position.  I'm glad
Bryan (Herta) is okay, that is a shame for him because he was a contender for the pole, too.  We
had really good power from our Honda with the difficult conditions today. It was perfect."

Tony Cotman, Team Manager, #26 Klein Tools/Jim Beam Dallara/Honda/Firestone
        "I think it was a heck of a job.  I'm very proud of Dan and the whole team.  We can only get
one spot better, so we're saving that for race day.  I think everybody at Andretti Green should be
extremely happy because we've got two cars on the front row."
