Bryan Herta, #7 XM Satellite Radio Dallara/Honda/Firestone
"We had a little bit of a rough start this morning and I was a little surprised because I
thought we had a good base setup from last year. Obviously the conditions are a little different so
we had to chase the #7 XM Satellite Radio car a little bit this morning. We were much better this
afternoon and if we can make another step tomorrow then I'm confident that we'll be right where
we want to be."
