Tony Cotman, Team Manager,
#26 Klein Tools/Jim Beam Dallara/Honda/Firestone on the Belterra Casino Indy 300:
        "I'm pretty happy with the way the Klein Tools/Jim Beam team got back on track last week
after a few tough races. I think we're hitting our stride again at just the right time. I feel like we can
keep that going at Kentucky, but we'll just have to take it race by race and see what happens. We
just need to push pretty hard over the last five or six races and finish the season on a good note.
Ultimately, we'd like to fight Tony [Kanaan] for the championship. We'll see what happens."
