"Right at the end of the day, we found something and it was good. We tried some of the
things that Bryan was doing and it worked. I was pretty happy. It's a shame we had our
(mechanical) problem there at the end, because I think we were going forward there with the
Jim Beam/Vonage car. The biggest thing now will be the weather (forecasted warmer weather
on race day), which is going to dramatically change everything. We'll have to wait and see what
happens."
