THEY SAID IT: "Overall, really good. When you look back from last year to today. This track was actually our worst. We did a lot of work in the off-season to get it turned around. These guys did a fantastic job. We were in the Firestone Fast Six, when last year we didn't get to Q2. A big difference. Big kudos to these guys. In Practice 1, we weren't anywhere near where we needed to be and they flipped this car and we are in the Fast Six. A really good day. A few mistakes from my side in that Q3 to learn from. We're still learning and making ourselves a better team. Looking really strong for tomorrow." - David Malukas
