Old National Armed Forces Bump Day Quotes
CONOR DALY (No. 41 ABC Supply Co./A.J. Foyt Racing Honda): “It's nice to get it all done for once, and it's exciting to get it done early. It will be nerve-wracking the rest of the day, I'm sure. But if we have to go out again, that's fine. I know exactly where we can find some more speed. We'll just see what happens. If we're solidly in, I don't think there is any point in going again. But I think there is a little bit if we have to. We'll just have to see how it all plays out. I have to thank the crew for all they've done. I think they had the car apart at least 15 times after the crash and the problems we had (Saturday). We got the engine back about 8:30 last night, and they worked late getting it back in.”

But he never got a chance to compete in the Indianapolis 500 because those were the years before Champ Car teams joined the IZOD IndyCar Series in 2008 to give the United States a unified open-wheel series.
