Bryan Herta on the Firestone Indy 225:
        "I've always liked Nazareth. It's a place I've been racing at since the early '90s, so I've
got more than a decade there. To me it's one of the most fun ovals to qualify on because you've
got three very distinct corners. The problem has always been that it's difficult to pass during a
race. But, I enjoy Nazareth and I'm looking forward to going back one last time in the XM
Satellite Radio car, especially because I know it's important to Mike (Michael Andretti). It's his
hometown. We've had a great season, but I'm not sure that the season will be complete if we
don't bring him a win in his hometown."
