Bryan Herta, #7 XM Satellite Radio Dallara/Honda/Firestone
"I'm much happier with the XM Satellite Radio car than I was at the test.  It was a good
first day for us.  We were solid.  We're not where we want to be yet, but we're solid.  I really want
to get this season started on the right foot and we're well on our way to doing that, so I'm happy."
