Herta Qualifies Sixth in XM Satellite Radio Car at Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (April 1, 2006) - XM Satellite Radio driver Bryan Herta will start sixth for Sunday's running of the second-annual Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg. After qualifying for the 10-minute Firestone Fast Six Shootout, Herta posted a speed of 103.058 miles per hour (1:02.8774 seconds) and will start on the outside of row three.

The green flag drops on the second race of the 2006 Indy Racing League® IndyCar® Series schedule at 3:45 p.m. (EDT). ESPN will provide live coverage of the event beginning at 3:30 p.m. (EDT). Sunday's Honda Grand Prix can also be heard live by XM Satellite Radio subscribers on XM channel 145, the exclusive home of the IndyCar Series.

Bryan Herta, #7 XM Satellite Radio Dallara/Honda/Firestone:
"This was fun but it was a little more fun last year when I was on the pole. We just picked up a little understeer in the #7 XM Satellite Radio car and couldn't quite dial it out in the time that we had available to us. We've got a good starting spot and I know we have a good car, so we'll just try and improve and go from there."
