Dario Franchitti, #27 Klein Tools/Jim Beam Dallara/Honda/Firestone
"The Klein Tools/Jim Beam team is working toward the race.  It is so difficult to tell what
everybody is doing with tows and no tows.  We're looking for a feeling out of the car right now
more than we're looking for a lap time and we're getting close to that.  Tony (Kanaan), Marco
(Andretti), Bryan (Herta) and I have some pretty different setups, so we're going to pick the best
one and run with it."
