“It was a good day for Arrow McLaren SP. We made a lot of really good changes overnight after yesterday. Putting ourselves in the Firestone Fast Six consistently is what is going to give us the opportunity to get solid points on Sundays. I’m happy that we made it through. Now we will try to make our race car even better so we can pass some cars tomorrow.”

“Kind of an average qualifying. Eighth is a good position and we’ve shown that we can win from there. I think this race is all about having a good race car, race pace and tire life is going to be key. So, I think we’re in a good spot, but not really super happy with the pace. But we will do it when it matters tomorrow.”
Taylor Kiel, President, Arrow McLaren SP
“Ultimately, we got Pato through to the Firestone Fast Six and Felix was on the edge there in eighth. That is a good place to start here, as winners of this event come from all over the place. We are up front, which helps us stay out of the mess in Turn 1 to start the race. It’s a long race with each lap and very few strategy opportunities, so it’s important to start up front. We’ll look to have good pit sequences tomorrow and we have a lot to play for tomorrow.”
