Michael Andretti, #1 Jim Beam/Vonage Dallara/Honda/Firestone
"I don't know what the Jim Beam/Vonage car will have in it tomorrow because we didn't
do any qualifying work today. We'll just have to close our eyes and see. The car is not where I
want it to be, but we're getting there. The month was going very good, but this past week has
been frustrating. I wish that we would have qualified last weekend because the car was really
good. But that's the way it goes."
