“We had a pretty good Qualifying. Leaving Practice 1 yesterday and going into Practice 2 today in much colder conditions, we knew which direction to go and made the car better into Qualifying. We knew the Andretti cars would be strong in the street course, and I think being one of the few cars fighting them, it’s something we’re happy with for now. I was happy with the balance, but we didn’t save another set of Firestone Alternates for the Fast Six, like three other cars did. We did a good job; we followed track evolution and put ourselves in a good spot for the race tomorrow.”

“Not much to say about Qualifying. We did an out lap, had a spark plug issue, came in and stopped for the rest of the session. I think the car would’ve been fast, but I have no way of knowing. We’ll come back tomorrow and see what we have. It sucks because this is a race where Qualifying is so important, so we’ll do what we can tomorrow.”
