Raphael Matos, #27 AFS Racing/Andretti Green Racing Dallara/Firestone:
"We were a little bit conservative with the setup. We found a lot more speed in qualifying than we had in practice. The AFS Racing/Andretti Green Racing car is running good so I think we have a very strong car for tomorrow. Starting in the top five is always good."
Arie Luyendyk Jr., #26 Targus/AGR/AFS Racing Dallara/Firestone:
"The run was pretty good. We had a little too much understeer on the warm up laps, but we made some adjustments in the car. I think the Targus/AGR/AFS car will be strong tomorrow. It’s a tough place to run 100 miles because it’s challenging for the cars and the drivers."
