Milwaukee top three have their say.

Kenny Brack, Michael Andretti and Scott Dixon, the first three finishers in Saunday's Miller Lite 225 at the Milwaukee Mile give their comments on the fifth round of the 2001 CART Fed-Ex Championship from Wisconsin.

KENNY BRACK, Shell Ford Lola: "Obviously, it was very difficult conditions today. This weekend, we didn't have much running. We only got two hours on Friday, and nothing until this morning. Because of that, the cars had different set-ups, and the teams didn't get the perfect set-up. Maybe we didn't either, but it was better than the rest. [At the start] I got side-by-side with Helio [Castroneves], and I don't know why we didn't hit but we didn't. I saw Michael [Andretti] in my mirror, and that's not a good sight, because he's won here five times. It was a tough race today. It doesn't make a difference in terms of performance, but it's nice when [team owner] Bobby [Rahal] is here and can see us do well. That's something he can take back with him to Jaguar and be proud of. We talk a lot on the phone. He was here, and his last race was Long Beach, and a week ago I was in England, so we're in contact. I wasn't sure about the Lola chassis until Mexico, because we weren't that good on the road courses in testing. We were pretty worried, but we worked to get a good understanding of the car, and it is a good car. The Lola has a good window, and if it's not spot-on, it's still a good car. It's hard to race in this series, and to win two races is a fantastic result. You have to win the races you can win, and finish the races you can't."

MICHAEL ANDRETTI, Motorola Honda Reynard: "It was a strange race, one of fuel mileage. In the middle stages we were just cruising around trying to save fuel. It was very hard to pass lapped cars. You'd get right up behind them in the turbulence and just stop. At the end of the race, I developed a huge understeer, and I couldn't catch Kenny. It is unfortunate, because we had a good car early on. Team Motorola did a great job, we came in [the pits] second, and went out first. It's just unfortunate, because we had a good car early. We had a problem this morning when the wing broke, and lost angle. I don't know what happened in the race, maybe it was the same thing. I didn't want to let Dixon know that I was having trouble, but then we got the lapped car between us on the last yellow, so I knew it was going to be okay."

SCOTT DIXON, Powerware Panasonic PacWest Toyota: "It was a good race with where we started. The car was pretty bad on Friday. The car needed a lot of work, and maybe we could have qualified a little better, but not much better than eighth. The car was working pretty well all day. The Toyota engine was really strong. Both my first win in Indy Lights and my first win in Champ Cars [at Nazareth] were on mile ovals. I think the way I drive works well on the one-mile ovals. We need to work on qualifying for the mile ovals, the car was pretty bad in qualifying at Nazareth. I had plenty of fuel on-board, and it looked like Michael was getting looser and looser. I could have made a run on him had I been a little closer. But then the last yellow came out and Patrick [Carpentier] got between us, so I couldn't get up to him."
