AGR QUOTES - NASHVILLE POST-RACE

Danica Patrick, #7 Motorola Dallara/Honda/Firestone "The Motorola car was definitely good tonight. It is frustrating when you are dealing with a situation like the weather. Dixon and Wheldon were just a few laps short of having to pit. We needed something like ten laps of yellow for them to run out of fuel. From that perspective it is tough, but that is a gamble that they took and it worked out in their favor. But we had a top-five finish tonight and we will take it."

Tony Kanaan, #11 Team 7-Eleven Dallara/Honda/Firestone "I support my team 100 percent. It was the right call to come in on lap 148. Who can predict the rain? Unfortunately, the rain and I don't get along too well. But, the 7-Eleven guys have great momentum and the guys at the front know we are coming. I'll take fourth place today. When it is your year, it is your year. You have to get a little lucky to win the championship and I got my share of the luck in 2004."

Marco Andretti, #26 oso*fresh Dallara/Honda/Firestone "I just got loose and ran into (Ryan) Briscoe. I feel bad for the oso*fresh team but obviously for Briscoe, too. I might have been able to save the car if he wasn't there. It was a long day, for sure, but I don't think that had anything to do with the incident. It was simply my mistake."

Hideki Mutoh, #27 Formula Dream Dallara/Honda/Firestone "It was a tough race for the Formula Dream team. We missed the timing of the first pit stop so it took longer than we planned. Because of that, I don't think we had a chance to finish in a good position even though the race was shortened by the rain. All-in-all, we were able to learn a lot from this race and we will be ready for the next weekend at Mid-Ohio."

Raphael Matos, #27 AFS Racing/Andretti Green Racing Dallara/Firestone "It was great to have a top-five finish. I spun out early and went to last, but was able to make a great comeback. Our AFS Racing/Andretti Green Racing car was really fast and was able to give us a great finish. We are sitting second place in the championship and only 15 points behind first. We will work harder at Mid-Ohio and I hope we will be leading the championship after that race."

Arie Luyendyk Jr., #26 Targus/AGR/AFS Dallara/Firestone "I am satisfied with a third-place finish. It was a hard fight. The finish was good for points and I hope to keep this momentum for the rest of the year. Our Targus/AGR/AFS car ran great and was the quickest car out there.

"I have a lot of respect for Ana. She's done a great job this year. When anyone races you hard and clean you really respect them. It will be my job to beat her the next couple of races."

Franck Montagny, #26 XM Satellite Radio Acura "The XM Acura was good to drive today. I think that Marco and I did well with what we had. It was just unfortunate that 14 minutes into the race, we were a lap down and at that point there isn't much we could do. It was nice to be able to show that the car was fast since we were the quickest on the track. Now, we'll be ready to go to Mid-Ohio."

Marco Andretti, #26 XM Satellite Radio Acura "I was disappointed with my run. My radio wasn't connected right and I couldn't hear the team for awhile. Then I was able to run pretty well through the traffic after fixing the radio. It's very tough to come from behind here. I had to drive through all of the GT cars. The P1 cars are very hard to pass too, because of their straightaway speed. The leaders just got a huge gap at the start and we were running through traffic, so that made it difficult. It was fun to drive the XM Acura again."
