Bryan Herta, #7 XM Satellite Radio Dallara/Honda/Firestone
"It was good to finally get some mileage on the track today. Unfortunately we had a minor
problem that took away some of our running time, but we definitely found a couple things on the
setup of the XM Satellite Radio car that I feel more comfortable with.  When we put the qualifying
setup on tomorrow I think we'll find a lot more speed."
