Bryan Herta on the Menards A.J. Foyt Indy 225:

George Klotz, Team Manager,
#7 XM Satellite Radio Dallara/Honda/Firestone on the Menards A.J. Foyt Indy 225:
        "We didn't have the best test ever at Milwaukee and didn't feel very good about things
right afterwards, but I think our race at Richmond helped us feel quite a bit better. The key for
the XM Satellite Radio team at Milwaukee is to give Bryan a good handling car and do
everything we can to have good track position all race long. That's the key to any short oval and
this Sunday will be no different."
