Bryan Herta on the Bridgestone Indy Japan 300
"The whole team feels good heading into Motegi after Tony's win last race. The XM Satellite Radio crew has worked really hard and we have been competitive this year, and now we're ready for a good result. Obviously Japan is an important race for the team, as well as Honda, but I wouldn't say there is added pressure on us. We want to win every race. We have had four strong cars at both events this year and I don't think it will be any different in Japan."

George Klotz, Team Manager, on the Bridgestone Indy Japan 300
"This is obviously a big race for the XM Satellite Radio team and even a bigger race for Honda. Our guys have been working hard getting the cars and all the equipment ready to make the trip to Japan. We've had a good car in the first two events of the season but we just haven't had things go our way. If we stay focused and continue to give Bryan a good car the results should follow."
