THEY SAID IT: "We were struggling on these red tires, so, we knew after the group one, it was a struggle for us. We'll get back into the think tank. We'll get it fixed and get it done. But, a little bit unfortunate, we couldn't capitalize on it when we could. But overall, I think the Verizon Chevy pace is strong, especially on those primary tires. So we'll see what we can get up to. We have a lot of things to check over, especially for race running and seeing how we're gonna be under tow. This whole time we've just been on qualifying sim. So, a lot of work to do."
