The Firestone tires were amazing and I never had a problem with them during the race. I'd like to thank Sam and Mazda for putting me in the car this weekend. We scored lots of points so that was very good for us with an oval at Fontana coming up next. We have to stay focused and arrive ready in California. Today was a great win on a track that was very exciting and quite physical but a good race for us - we're all quite happy."GUSTAVO YACAMAN (No. 2 TMR-Tuvacol-Xtreme Coil Drilling, finished second): "The first two times I had contact with Esteban, it's a shame. I had a very good car, some mechanical issues yesterday in qualifying kept us from qualifying more up front. But we definitely got those fixed for today and I had a winning car. I had a really, really good car, but the impact with Esteban just shattered all the chances of a better result. But I can't complain that we finished second, in the end of the day itw as a good result. At this point in the season, I've completed every lap since Race 1, so the consistency is the name of the game."ESTEBAN GUERRIERI (No. 11 Pistas-Argentinas/SSM with Curb Agajanian, finished third): "Today's race wasn't the best one. We were lacking pace, basically since Trois Rivieres we are not quick on the race pace and we didn't have it here. Basically, not really happy. Obviously you want to fight for positions and go to the front, but it didn't work out. Of course, it's good to finish the race and in the end get the podium and the points to still get a shot at Fontana, but it's not the way you want to do it. I want to be quick and go forward, and it's not working. We have to sit down realize that what is done is done, but still going to push for the last one for sure.DAVID OSTELLA (No. 22 TMR-Global Precast-Xtreme Coil Drilling, finished fourth): "Coming from Canada go-karting we always have bumpy tracks, so I love the street courses that are bumpy. It's a little bit rougher than the other ones we have raced on, except for Toronto which is another Canada track. It felt great out there. Felt that the track gripped up a lot. We were supposed to have some great thunderstorms, kind of happy that didn't happen. But we've always been strong in the rain. It was great. I'm happy. My teammate ended up on the podium and I was in fourth. And it was a great run for the team we worked hard."OLIVER WEBB (No. 7 Lucas Oil/Sam Schmidt Motorsports): "Initially it felt good, but it's unfortunate that the front wing got broken so early or even at all. I had a decent start initially then (Gustavo) Yacaman did a, whether it was a good or bad move, whatever it is it worked. It pushed me to go three-wide. Unfortunately, I was on the outside and that's not where you want to be around that corner. I could have either crashed or gone a little later and lost positions I did. It's disappointing. I worked my way back up through the field and I started to have some real, real problems. We're going to have a look at it later on. I probably damage the wing but I just couldn't stop the car."***The next IZOD IndyCar Series race is the MAV TV 500 on Sept. 15 at Auto Club Speedway.
