   Dario Franchitti on the Bombardier 500:
           "I'm looking forward to Texas. We had such a hard race at Indianapolis. I'm looking
   forward to getting that taste out of my mouth. I've never raced at Texas before, so I'm just not
   too sure what to expect. I did get to watch both races there last year and I know we'll be
   running a great deal closer than at Indy or Phoenix. But, beyond that, it will be a new
   experience for me, as will driving at night. That may be the thing I'm looking forward to the
   most. A night race is perfect for me. Anyone that knows me knows that mornings aren't my
   favorite time of day, so this will be great. I could sleep until 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon if I
   really wanted."

   Kyle Moyer, General Manager, Andretti Green Racing:
           "Texas is a good track for us. I don't think the driver enters in a whole lot until the
   race. To get the outright speed in qualifying, it'll come down a lot to horsepower and Honda
   is doing a great job with that right now. Even though Dario hasn't raced at Texas, yet, I think
   we'll be okay because of the four teams we have. The other three guys will help get him
   comfortable in the ArcaEx car Thursday and Friday, and then he can really go to work
   Saturday night."
