Santino Ferrucci Qualifying Quote:

“The Mouser Molex Honda was still really good, I just didn’t get the front tires to where I wanted them for the first half of the lap. I think we have a good race car, but qualifying did not go the way we hoped for coming off P2 in practice. Unfortunately, its basically a one-lap qualifying and I just missed advancing by about a tenth and a half which is definitely something to work on.”
