“ We had a pretty good run. Coming out of Turn 1, for some reason I got up into fifth gear sooner than expected and had to go up to sixth at that point – going into the wind. The car just fell on its face, so we lost some speed there. But nothing like what we needed to put up numbers like [Power and Newgarden] ran; they’re definitely on another level right now. I was hoping for a cloud cover, but it rolled in right as we finished the run. But it was a good run for the 28 DHL boys and we can go out and have a good race from fourth tomorrow – that’s the important thing.”
With rain clouds looming, one by one the field of 21 Verizon IndyCar Series drivers laid down their fastest times to set the grid for Sunday’s ABC Supply 500.
- STARTING POSITION: 4th
