Bryan Herta on the SunTrust Indy Challenge
"It's all new pavement. It's a lot faster, from what I've heard, so it's going to be
interesting. And it's a two-day weekend which is always difficult because you don't
have a lot of time to set the car up. On top of that, my sponsor, XM Satellite Radio, is
based not too far from there so we'll have a lot of people there. We definitely want to
have a good weekend for them."

"Richmond is one of the toughest races on our schedule. Short tracks are
especially challenging, but Bryan does a good job. Last year he was just awesome on
restarts and hopefully we will get him a car that is good enough to run up front. We
really want to get a good result for XM Satellite Radio because they are based just up
the road in Washington, D.C."
