Dan Wheldon, #26 Klein Tools/Jim Beam Dallara/Honda/Firestone
        "The Klein Tools/Jim Beam team tried a qualifying sim early in the second practice
session, but we just didn't get a particularly clear run.  The track itself seems ever so slippery, but
we're working towards getting a good race setup right now.  In qualifying trim I think we're quick,
but obviously the race is what's important.  This is a difficult place to run and that's what
everybody enjoys about Milwaukee."
