“I think the day went pretty good overall. We were able to make a lot of progress on the night session, running in heavy traffic the whole time. On one side we’ve made the DHL car better but tomorrow we’re going to have completely different temperatures to deal with so we have quite a few […]

“ 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 […]

“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 […]

“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 […]
