Dario Franchitti, #27 Klein Tools/Canadian Club Dallara/Honda/Firestone
"It was time to go to a race setup for the Klein Tools/Canadian Club boys and it was
probably a good idea since the weather came in pretty quickly.  If we get a couple more hours of
this (rain), we're going to be in trouble.  Every chance we get, we've got to focus on the race and
work on our setup.  I don't think we've got the time to make any inroads in the qualifying setup."
