Michael Andretti, #1 Jim Beam/Vonage Dallara/Honda/Firestone
"I'm ready.  I was pretty happy with the Jim Beam/Vonage car at the end of the warm-
up.  The weather (on race day) is definitely a concern.  It will be a major variable and a major
monkey wrench thrown into the race.  I only hope we make the right adjustments for the
weather."
