          "The Klein Tools/Jim Beam team is working hard on getting a good race car.  We found that a little
difficult today, but that's the beauty of our team.  We have three other cars with competitive drivers in them
and they are willing to help us when we need it.  We are going to have a look at our data and then come
back out tomorrow to see what we've got."
