Sebastien Bourdais #1 McDonald's Ford-Cosworth/Lola/Bridgestone - "That was a heck of a day, that's for sure. I think we really gave each other a run for our money. Nobody laid back or anything. It was running flat out the whole time. I wanted to get the point for the quickest lap of the race, which we did, not by much though. You know, I'm just extremely happy for this whole McDonald's team. Couldn't be a better start for this season." source: champcarworldseries.com A.J. Allmendinger #10 RuSPORT Ford-Cosworth/Lola/Bridgestone - "It was for the most part a steady day. You know, I think for myself, the black tires were probably a bit better than the reds. I probably made a mistake of telling the team to go to the reds on the second set of tires. But, you know, I mean, all around, it was a good performance, good way to get the season back on track for my whole RuSPORT team, get Red Bull and CDW back on the podium with me. That was great." Alex Tagliani #5 Aussie Vineyards Ford-Cosworth/Lola/Bridgestone - "It was not the best weekend, we obviously struggled, got better, struggled, got better. I'm pretty satisfied with top five; we scored some great points. When the car is not perfect I think coming out with a top five finish is pretty good. The guys did a fantastic job in the pit. On the last stint they realized we didn't have enough fuel and at the end of the race we ran out of radio, I couldn't hear the team and they couldn't hear me. There was a fuel error this morning in the engine after the warm-up so we were concerned about that. After the second pit stop we didn't know how much fuel we got in, so just to be on the safe side they told me to hit a fuel number, save fuel and stop fighting for fourth with Paul. As a result I had to save fuel and just bring the car home safe today." Andrew Ranger #27 Mi-Jack Ford-Cosworth/Lola/Bridgestone - "Starting 13th and finishing fourth is another excellent result for the team. It was a tough race. With only one yellow it was hard to catch up to the front runners but the team did excellent pit stops and we had a great race. We finished one position behind where we finished the first two races but I am still very, very happy. The team proved that we can be competitive, be in the top-ten and that we work hard. I'm still fourth in the championship which is fantastic. I want to thank the Mi-Jack Conquest Racing Team and Procter & Gamble."
