“I have a fever and all that stuff today – the shakes, the sweats, the whole thing – not feeling so great, but anytime you’re in the race car the adrenaline just pulls all that out of you. I feel like junk, but (Josef) Newgarden has plates in his shoulder and is out there, so I can manage. The 28 DHL car was really good, we just had some issues under braking that ended up sealing our fate today. But… P8, we can definitely work from there at Road America. Especially around a track like this with such long straights. It’s phenomenal to be back at Road America. It feels like it’s been way too long. Every driver up and down pit lane loves this place, and the fans make it special as well.”
Day two in Elkhart Lake brought a 45-minute morning practice session followed by qualifying for tomorrow’s KOHLER Grand Prix. Ryan Hunter-Reay battled a fever through two on-track sessions at Road America today, yet still ran in the top six during the morning session, and placed the DHL car in eighth during qualifying.
