Bryan Herta, #7 XM Satellite Radio Dallara/Honda/Firestone
"We definitely had a good couple of days in the XM car. It just makes it a little difficult to
test some place where you're not racing. You just try to do more 'big picture' stuff and learn things
for down the road. Any time the car is on the track you want to go fast."
