"Right now I have a little more power-on oversteer than I'd like, but we learned some things here last year about that. We're going to try to apply them to the car for tomorrow."

"The car was much better than this morning, but as always we need to do more for tomorrow. I actually think that through the afternoon session we didn't improve much on the car, as opposed to the track conditions turning more favorable. I actually did my quickest lap on tires that had already lost their edge. They were pretty badly flat-spotted."

"Usually our cars are stronger in the race, so being second fastest is encouraging. The horsepower in our Ford engine is good, which helps here on the long straights.

[On racing in the rain]: "We have a good set-up in case it rains. For the spectators, I hope it doesn't rain. For myself, I hope it does. It's definitely harder to race in the rain, but we've had good luck in the past. At Detroit last year, I led the race in the rain. The Goodyear rain tires are the best out there."

"Unfortunately for us, today has been tremendously frustrating. We were only able to run four laps in qualifying so it is almost impossible to improve on the set-up of the car. The only thing we can do is work to get ready for the race and get the most out of it."

"I can't get the power down out of the hairpin, my brakes are locking coming into the corner, and I can't use the curbs the way I want to. Christian went a different way in set-up and it was better than what we tried."
