Martin Pare, Race Engineer, #7 XM Satellite Radio Dallara/Honda/Firestone on the Argent Mortgage Indy 300:
"Kansas is the first one of our speedway runs in the summer. At all the speedway tracks, you are always trying to find that fine line between mechanical grip and aero grip and trying to minimize drag, yet having the right amount of grip. Bryan has been pretty good at Kansas over the last two years, so the XM Satellite Radio team is definitely hoping for a good result."
