IRL: Indy 500: Herta day 10 summary

Bryan Herta, #7 XM Satellite Radio Dallara/Honda/Firestone

"I'm pretty happy with the XM Satellite Radio car. I think we've accomplished everything we wanted to. If we had another week we'd probably go out there and practice everyday, but that is the nature of the game. We've had a good month other than the qualifying accident; everything has gone according to plan."
