96th Indianapolis 500 First Segment Qualifying Quotes
SCOTT DIXON (No. 9 Target Chip Ganassi Racing Honda): “It wasn’t too bad. The car was balanced pretty good; we got a little neutral in the corners. The way the configuration of the car is, it’s pretty well stuck. The next step makes it slide. We’re still struggling a little bit, but we’re doing the best that we can.”

A Conversation With Team Penske
MODERATOR: We have available to you the record of Team Penske in the Indianapolis 500. Many of you are quite aware of this, but it is really remarkable. Fifteen victories, 10 different winning drivers, 16 pole positions. It's a story of excellence. Mr. Penske, sometimes when you see a record like this, you wonder if it could become blasé to have success here. I never get that sense from you.
