Bryan Herta, #7 XM Satellite Radio Dallara/Honda/Firestone: "I'm pretty disappointed right now. Based on practice, I thought we could expect to be a little bit quicker than what we were. I made a mistake on my lap and that was what kept us out of the shootout. This is a fun track to run on, but a frustrating track when you're not starting in the front."
