Eric Cowdin, Race Engineer,
#11 Team 7-Eleven Dallara/Honda/Firestone, on the ABC Supply Co./A.J. Foyt Indy 225:
"Last year at Milwaukee we were close on the setup with Tony but didn't quite have the balance we
wanted. Milwaukee is a challenging, flat, 1-mile oval where the driver's skill and car setup have to be at their
best. Having learned last year's lessons, combined with the information the team gathered during a test day
earned through the IPS driver program, we are confident that we can improve on last year's performance."
