Scott Sharp - #8 Delphi Dallara /Honda/Firestone:
"It was good for us to get out today. Like everyone, we just carried on with working on race setup. We made some more moves and continued on with our plan. I think we learned some more things, and were just carrying along. That's really what you need to do -- just run laps, make changes and get the car perfected as much as possible. The wind blew around a lot. Everyone had to deal with it but it was pretty consistent, which was good. It is worse when it's gusty. Certainly, you felt it the most going down the back straightaway. It would just move the car side to side."
