Dario Franchitti, #27 ArcaEx Dallara/Honda/Firestone
        "We definitely saw everything today.  We saw beautiful sunshine and horrendous fog.  I
think the ArcaEx team is a lot closer than we were in the test.  We still need to get the balance
more comfortable for me.  The car is doing a couple of things that I don't really like on a road
course car.  I think if we work on that, the lap time will come on its own.  This morning was
great; running in the rain.  I haven't done that in a long time."
