Dario Franchitti, #27 Klein Tools/Canadian Club Dallara/Honda/Firestone
"We didn't even go near a qualifying setup for the Klein Tools/Canadian Club car today.
We're taking a little bit of a gamble because we're going to show up tomorrow morning having not
run the qualifying car since last Sunday.  We were pretty happy with it then, so hopefully it will
work tomorrow and that will allow us Sunday to concentrate one more day on just trying to get a
decent race car for the race.  I'm hoping that now we have an idea of where we need to be."
