Graham Rahal, No. 02 McDonald’s Dallara/Honda/Firestone:  “The McDonald’s boys have been working awfully hard this entire time and we’ve had the pace and it’s nice to get our first podium on a super speedway and second of the season on an oval.  It’s such an interesting track and a change from what we’re used to with the classic super speedway shape.  The McDonald’s boys did a great job in the pits today and we saved a lot of fuel which put us in that position.”
