TARGET CHIP GANASSI RACING QUOTEBOARD:

Scott Dixon: "Not quite what we had hoped to do in the Firestone Fast Six so we'll have our work cut out for us in the race. It's been a bit of a struggle so far this weekend but you never know what can happen in a race. The key will be trying to get to the front or simply in front of Dario (Franchitti). We can't let too many points slip through our fingers this weekend."

Dan Wheldon: "Sometimes you just have periods like this but you just have to work through them and try to make it better. Everyone at Target Chip Ganassi is working hard to make sure we do everything we can to be quick. "
