Firestone 600 Qualifying Report

2016-texas-race9“It’s really hard to get the set up exactly as you need it. That’s the worst part about (Texas Motor Speedway), just getting the car in that very small operating range. Every year it seems to get trickier too. The track surface seems to be a little bit rougher every year and just eats up those Firestones more and more. We’ll see. We’re going to try and have a good night tonight in practice and get the DHL car set up for tomorrow.”

Colombian teammate Carloz Muñoz will have an unobstructed view of the green flag at Texas Motor Speedway tomorrow night as he will start from the pole position for the Firestone 600 – his first Verizon IndyCar Series career pole. Muñoz set the fast time in this afternoon’s qualifying session with a two-lap average time of 00:48.2460 on the 1.455-mile oval. Ryan Hunter-Reay will start 11th.

Tune in to catch all the night-race action from Texas Motor Speedway on NBC Sports Network Saturday at 8 p.m. ET.
