Bryan Herta on the Delphi Indy 300:
        "This is an important race for our team.  So many of our sponsors like XM Satellite
Radio, Klein Tools and Forsythe have a large presence in Chicago, and we'd really like to go
out there and compete for a victory.  Last year we finished third by a few feet and we feel like it's
our turn to get into victory lane."

Bryan Herta Facts

      history.  The margin between race winner Sam Hornish Jr. and Herta was .0100 of a

      The XM Satellite Radio crew has placed the race car in the top 10 on nine occasions in
      2004.  That total ties Herta for the fifth-most top-10 results in the IndyCar Series.
      Herta has scored three top-five finishes this season, including a pair of fourth-place
      finishes at Indianapolis (May 30) and at Richmond (June 26).

George Klotz, Team Manager,
#7 XM Satellite Radio Dallara/Honda/Firestone on the Delphi Indy 300:
        "Last year we had a really good race in Chicago.  We're going into Chicago with
basically the same set up that we left with last year and we're looking for a good result.  We'd
like to get back up in the winner's circle where we belong."
