Bryan Herta on the Honda Indy 225:
"The XM Satellite Radio team is back running strong again. Even though we didn't finish at Kentucky, I feel like we had a strong car there, so we're looking to continue that at Pikes Peak. With our most recent DNF, for me it's now more about getting race wins than it is points, so I'm going to Pikes Peak with that goal in mind."

George Klotz, Team Manager, #7 XM Satellite Radio Dallara/Honda/Firestone on the Honda Indy 225:
