CASEY MEARS QUOTES:
"The finishes we've had so far this season hardly reflect what this team has learned. Yeah, we all want to win races and sit on poles but right now we have to look at it realistically. We need to finish races this first half of the season, and we've done that. For me to get as many laps in at each track is the main goal right now. The second half of the season, when we go back to these tracks a second time, is when we will be more focused on performance and where we finish. I've got this Target Team behind me 110%. We have progressed so much every race this year. And when we have problems, we just learn from them and keep moving forward. I know we have a good shot at a win and a pole later in the season."
