   Dario Franchitti on the Belterra Casino Indy 300:
            "I'm looking forward to racing at Kentucky Speedway. This will be the first time I've
   competed there, but the ArcaEx team has performed well on the 1.5-mile ovals thus far, and the
   Andretti Green Racing team had a successful test at Kentucky Speedway last week. Being a
   two-day event, we'll need to be quick from the start, but I believe we have a good baseline from
   which to begin."

   Allen McDonald, Race Engineer,
   #27 ArcaEx Dallara/Honda/Firestone, on the Belterra Casino Indy 300:
           "We had a very good test at Kentucky with Tony Kanaan and Bryan Herta and have a
   very good baseline from which to work. It's a two-day weekend and Dario's never been to
   Kentucky Speedway, but I'm sure he'll pick things up very quickly. Building from the baseline
   that we have, I'm sure we'll have a good race weekend."
