Bryan Herta, #7 XM Satellite Radio Dallara/Honda/Firestone
"The XM Satellite Radio team was working on race setup today and judging by the
speeds, I'd say that almost everybody was doing the same.  I'd have to say right now that we've
got a little more work to do.  We're going to have to get this part right before we go and think
about the qualifying setup.  Hopefully we learned some things that we can carry over into the
qualifying setup, but the key right now is to get a comfortable car that we feel can do the job for
500 miles."
