Kluever on racing at Watkins Glen International:
"It seems to take me a little while to get used to these road courses, so hopefully this week I'll still be in road course rhythm and we can start off a lot better than we did in Montreal. I thought we'd be able to do better at Montreal. It seems like it takes me one time at these tracks to really get a handle on it. Last year in Mexico City we were bad and came back and finished 11th there this year, so I believe we'll have a better finish at Watkins Glen. The Glen is a little more forgiving course than Montreal so that will be a big help too. There is more room and it's not nearly as hard on the brakes. Last week our car was better than the driver so I hope to improve on that this weekend."
Eddie Pardue on racing at Watkins Glen International:
"We're taking a new car to Watkins Glen this weekend. The Glen will be a bit easier for us since we know what to expect there. We have notes from the past races there unlike running at Montreal last weekend. Todd did a lot better on his second trip to Mexico City this year and I expect he'll have a better run at Watkins Glen compared to last year, and even last weekend."
