Edmonton: Andretti Green Racing Friday report

Driver:  Danica Patrick

Car:  #7 Boost Mobile/Motorola Dallara/Honda/Firestone

"I was really looking forward to the second practice session today. We made some changes to the car after this morning's practice, but then got caught up in Dan's (Wheldon) incident which cut the afternoon's session short. I think we will be back on track tomorrow but I really wanted to see if the changes we made were going to be the answer for having an ideal car for tomorrow's qualifying run."

Driver:  Tony Kanaan

Car:  #11 Team 7-Eleven Dallara/Honda/Firestone

"It was a tough morning session but we made a couple changes before we come back out this afternoon, which were really positive. We are headed in the right direction. Overall, I'm quite pleased with the day. It is a tough track and a lot of people are going off the course. But, overall it was a good day. Any improvement is good."

Driver:  Marco Andretti

Car:  #26 Team Mott's Clamato Caesar Dallara/Honda/Firestone

"We're making small improvements, but they're not reflecting on our lap times yet. The car is feeling better and I think that when it comes time to qualify tomorrow we'll be a lot better off. The #26 car is heading in the right direction and the improvements will start to show."

Driver: Hideki Mutoh
Car: #27 Formula Dream Dallara/Honda/Firestone

"We are still struggling. We made some changes from this morning that didn't pan out. We made a change during practice that helped, but we still need to make changes before the morning session to be on track. We'll see how the morning session goes and hopefully be back towards the front before qualifying."
