Bryan Herta, #7 XM Satellite Radio Dallara/Honda/Firestone
"I think the XM Satellite Radio car was as good of a race car as I've had this month.  I was
really happy until the last run of the day, so that kind of saps a little bit of your enthusiasm.  I still
feel like we made good progress today and are getting closer to the setup we're looking for on the
race car."
