Scott Sharp, #8 Delphi Panoz/Honda/Firestone:
"We'll go out tomorrow just to get a feel for the condition change with a little bit warmer weather, but we made some good progress today. The track was certainly different. We tuned around it pretty well and got going really good there at the end. This is what happens at Indianapolis. The conditions change so easily and everyone has to make the right adjustments to get the car back to where they want it. I am real happy with the day. I feel we were pretty strong there at the end. The car was working well in traffic and seemed to be relatively quick as well, so things are good."
