“We have to go back and talk about the race car, we were just focused on qualifying. It’s a new (aero) kit, it’s a work in progress. I have to talk myself into being happy about qualifying the DHL Honda sixth today, that’s hard to do, but it’s better than we qualified last year here. I think this new aero kit and the Honda engine have put us closer, but we still need to do a lot of work here.”
