Optimisitic for a good race, Ryan Hunter-Reay started the Grand Prix of Long Beach on the outside of the front row. The No. 1 Chevy required a front wing change after becoming involved in the same incident as teammates Hinchcliffe and Viso. After returning to the race, the reigning champion was again involved in an on-track collision, leaving him recording a 24th position.
“We missed some of the grip today that we had in prior days. Some of the corners that were my strongest were my weakest today. I was definitely handcuffed, so we just started trying things. We were in the back anyway, I had to move forward again and I just got in too hot, no grip on the inside there. Just trying things, trying anything to make a bad day go a little better, but it just went from bad to worse. I feel really bad for the guys, they gave me a great car all weekend, we just missed it today. I absolutely missed it out there on the track, so we have to rebound in Brazil for sure and try to get the DHL Chevy on top again.”
