Hideki Mutoh, #27 Formula Dream Dallara/Honda/Firestone:
'The Formula Dream car was good at the beginning of the race. In fact, I think we had one of the fastest cars in the first stint. But, the last stint we developed too much of an understeer condition and we just couldn't pass anyone. Our strategy for the race did not work out the way we needed. It was a tough day. I hope we can have a better result next week.'Source - Andretti Green Racing
