 | Shell Team Rahal Reynard Ford Qualified (provisional): 1st |
| BRYAN HERTA | |
| It was a good day. I didn't mean to qualify 17th in Toronto, but I think being in the second group today was good, because the track kept getting faster and faster. | |
 | PacWest Motorola Reynard Mercedes Qualified (provisional): 2nd |
| MARK BLUNDELL | |
| I had a pretty productive day. We're getting stronger race by race over the past four or five events. The big thing now is to continue to get better tomorrow, but it's going to take a lot of hard work. | |
 | Team Kool Green Reynard Honda Qualified (provisional): 3rd |
| DARIO FRANCHITTI | |
| That was one of those hold your breath laps. The track seems to be getting better with each lap. We were working on the car during the session. When we started, the front of the car was working better than the rear at certain times and vice versa. So we had to get the whole car working together and we almost did it. | |
 | Team Kool Green Reynard Honda Qualified (provisional): 20th |
| PAUL TRACY | |
| We're not happy with the run. We had some kind of a braking problem. The car is really bad under braking. The rears are locking or something is going on in the rear and it caused me to spin. I had to go out and get a fast lap in on fresh tires, but I had the same problem. We'll have to dig into the car tonight and see what we can find. | |
 | Forsythe Player's/Indeck Reynard Mercedes Qualified (provisional): 4th |
| PATRICK CARPENTIER | |
| I'm very pleased with this fourth position because it's my best so far on a road course. The Player's team really did an outstanding job to give me a great car. I can still improve on my time because I'm still losing some time in the slow corners. I have a lot of wheel spin. It's a minor problem which the Player's crew will try to solve tonight. | |
 | Castrol/Degree AAR Racing Eagle Toyota Qualified (provisional): 25th |
| ALEX BARRON | |
| We made a big improvement on our lap time from this morning's practice session. It's very important to get a lap in quick because the tires fall off so quickly. The Eagle seems to have more grip and a little different characteristics on set-up. | |
