Brent Sherman, No. 16 National Guard Delphi (Firestone Indy Lights):

"I couldn’t trust the car in the first race.  It was very unpredictable; under braking it was unpredictable.  In race two I drove into the turns deeper with no problem.  The breaking was definitely a lot better.  The rear and front of the car were better as well.  The car was good in race two.  I’m not happy with the results though.  I am comfortable with the car, and we will definitely be challenging in the upcoming road races.”
