Ozz Negri (#60 Michael Shank Racing Ligier Honda): 'Fourth was good, but of course not as good as what we wanted. We had to run a very conservative fuel strategy. At the end of the race, the car was handling just how I like it. You have to take chances every single corner. It was a pretty eventful race. At the end of the day, from where we started, we had a pretty good race. It was a good championship points day for the team.' Michael Shank (team owner, Michael Shank Racing): 'Everything went fairly well. We were able to get some track position during John Pew's opening stint. Once we figured out that we were going to have to save fuel, we kind of had to back it off a bit. The 'balance of performance' between marques and engine types is still an issue. We just don't have the equality that we'd like to. We have great one-lap pace when there is no traffic, but we still aren't able to race well. From where we started, a fourth-place finish is pretty good. It's good for the championship points and good for the team, Honda, and Ligier. Now we'll look ahead to the final two races at Circuit of the Americas and Road Atlanta.'
