Indy 500 Practice Quotes - Thursday, May 8
SAM HORNISH JR. (No. 4 Pennzoil Panther Dallara/Chevrolet/Firestone): "We put a new engine in this afternoon and get an engine check done, a leak check, to make sure everything is hooked up properly so that when we get ready to go tomorrow morning we don't look stupid because something was left loose. Basically just a precaution to make sure that all the running we need to do tomorrow gets done." (Did the engine problem today create some frustration?): "We're just going about our business, doing our thing. We're all doing everything we can do. We know you can't win the race today. We'll be worried, if we need to be, on May 25."BILLY BOAT (No. 98 Pedigo Chevrolet Panther Racing Dallara/Chevrolet/Firestone): "Probably not a lot of stuff left to try. We just have to hope that we can really squeeze everything out of our engine program that we can. We are, daily, getting new engine parts, so hopefully Chevrolet's going to be able to find us a little bit more at the end and we'll be able to add to our speed in addition to what we've gained thus far. I think a lot of it is going to depend on everyone else. Our biggest concern is to be as close to the front as we can get. I doubt we'll be one of the first cars to qualify. We'll have to see how the speeds go, look at the weather and make a decision."
