Dario Franchitti, #27 Klein Tools/Jim Beam Dallara/Honda/Firestone
"The Klein Tools/Jim Beam team was working on some fairly major fundamental things
today.  We made some very big changes, therefore we're not too concerned with the traditional
things.  We were just going for a feeling in the car and this was the day to do it."

Peter Gibbons, Race Operations Director, Andretti Green Racing
"Our focus in the open test was on basic development for the race setup.  We were not
driving for speed today."
