Dario Franchitti, #27 Klein Tools/Jim Beam Dallara/Honda/Firestone
"It wasn't a bad test. It's always difficult when you come to a place to test when you're not
going to race there because you're actually trying to learn things for other tracks. But, it wasn't a
bad couple of days for the Klein Tools/Jim Beam team. I think I was a bit happier yesterday
afternoon than today, but the conditions weren't quite as good today. I think we learned some
things for Richmond and Milwaukee, and that is what it's all about."
