“Some others ended up getting through with barely using the [Firestone] Reds from Q2, and unfortunately we used ours pretty hard, so we just didn’t have it there at the end of the Fast Six. It was a pretty good lap for the tires that we had, but the other guys just had fresher rubber […]

“We’re just trying to make the car better and find the balance that I need out of it, but it’s so easy to touch a wall here and there. We got it closer today in the dry [qualifying] session when we were P2, but we just didn’t have it with a little bit of moisture […]

“We just missed it a little bit – but good job by the team, the 28 car was decent. We got a little bit light overall – I couldn’t commit to full throttle leaving the corner, just a bit too much understeer. It’s unfortunate to not be on Pole, but when we miss it and […]

“We didn’t test here so we were a bit behind the 8-ball but we made the right changes with the DHL car, and I think we put a good effort out today. I was hoping to go one better at practice and be P2 but starting third is somewhere we can work from tomorrow in […]

“We just have to keep the momentum going – last weekend was a huge weekend for us, but we’ve got to keep it rolling. The points are going to be so valuable, the competition is so close, the competition is so tight that you can’t really afford to give up much as the season rolls […]

“I was hoping for more – but I think that’s the speed the car has it in. That last lap killed us a little bit, I was really aggressive with the tools. I had a good balance with the car, my engineers told me we had wind pick up on our last lap. Only in […]

“We’ve just been struggling with the balance all day – we call it disconnected – the car is loose in and understeer through (the turns). Unfortunately, we just missed the balance today in qualifying. The two cars in front of us were two-hundredths of a second quicker and two-hundredths of a second faster would have […]

“It’s really been tough today to stay on top of the track conditions – they’ve been changing a lot. It feels more like an oval out there where the wind changes just a little bit and you have to adjust your driving style to it. It’s a lot of fun adjusting to that. We kind […]
