CART: Driver Quotes from Friday Qaulifying/Practice
5 June 1999
WHAT THEYRE SAYINGPAUL TRACY, KOOL Honda Reynard: "The track here is a bit better than at Nazareth because of the width. Firestone has brought a bit softer tire here this weekend, which is causing some marbles, and thats making it a one-groove race track. Im generally pretty happy with the car. I didnt test here at all. [Teammate] Dario [Franchitti] did, and we ended up using his setup, which worked pretty well for me. I was pretty happy with the car right off the trailer, and well keep on working on improving it for tomorrow."
GREG MOORE, Players Forsythe Racing Ltd. Mercedes Reynard: "We pretty much used the exact same setup on the car [as teammate Patrick Carpentier} except for one or two small changes. I came here a few weeks ago and had a great two-day test here and it seems like weve picked up where we left off. Its good for everyone on the team to get the momentum back on the short ovals. We kind of missed it at Nazareth and St. Louis, and its good for the team to be back where we feel we should be."
PATRICK CARPENTIER, Players Forsythe Racing Ltd. Mercedes Reynard: "We put the car on the track and it was very stable at the back. We were very quick right away and I was very happy. Its good to have a car that was so stable after our accident at Gateway last week. We tried to tweak it a bit this afternoon and it didnt work, but were looking forward to tomorrow."
