Dale Coyne Racing’s Rinus VeeKay in the No.18 askROI Honda and Jacob Abel in the No.51 Abel Construction Honda endures a tough qualifying for today’s Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach.
VeeKay will start the race from 25th and speaking following the action he said:
That was a bit unfortunate. We started the weekend from a less than ideal position. We made a big swing with the setup overnight and saw some improvement, but we’re still not where we want to be in terms of grip for qualifying. It’s not for a lack of effort everyone is working very hard. We’ll regroup, make the right changes, and be ready for tomorrow. Thanks to all my supporters, including askROI. Tomorrow brings new opportunities to improve.
Jacob Abel starts the race from 26th place and speaking following the action he commented saying:
That was a tough qualifying session. We rolled off the truck not in a great spot and had some minor electrical gremlins that cost track time. We took a big swing overnight to find improvements, and while we did make gains, it just wasn’t quite enough. Tomorrow is a new day, and I’m confident we’ll keep making progress. This race tends to be a bit of a wildcard, so I’m hoping we can move up through the field and make the most of our strategy
