Dario Franchitti on the Meijer Indy 300 presented by Coca-Cola:
"Kentucky is a race that I enjoy. We had a great car last week at Michigan and it is going to be equally as important for us to show up with a good car this week at Kentucky. The Canadian Club team has done really well giving me the setups needed to keep us in the championship battle. Last week was unfortunate, but we have to put it behind us and look forward to this weekend. Hopefully we can get the Canadian Club car back to victory lane."
