Ed Jones Qualifying Quote:
“It was a good day for the SealMaster Honda team. After missing practice yesterday we knew it was going to be difficult. The guys did a good job preparing the car and we were fast right away today starting with the morning practice. Q1 (first round of qualifying) was really good. In Q2 (second round) I made a few mistakes and we might have missed the balance a little bit. We had the car to go through to the Firestone Fast Six we just didn’t maximize it as much as I would have liked. However, we have good pace and a good race car.”
