St. Pete I: AFS/Andretti Green Racing race notes

Raphael Matos, #27 AFS/AGR Dallara/Firestone

"I love St. Petersburg. The atmosphere is great and everything was just working great today with the AFS Racing/Andretti Green Racing car. I just can't thank all of those guys enough. Michael Andretti, Kim Green, Kevin Savoree and Gary Peterson have put a lot into the program. This is great for our sponsors, Automatic Fire Sprinklers and oso*fresh. This is a great feeling for them, too. This is our first victory of the year and hopefully we can repeat tomorrow."

Arie Luyendyk Jr., #26 AGR/AFS Dallara/Firestone

"The AGR/AFS Racing car was great today.  It had a bit of understeer in
it but the whole race I was quicker than the guys in front of me.  I wish
I would have gotten around those guys a little sooner.  Qualifying was
tough.  We went with a different setup for the race and the car seemed to
come alive.  I feel great and it was an awesome 40 laps."
