Defending Children’s of Alabama Indy Grand Prix of Alabama winner Scott McLaughlin in the No.3 Good Ranchers Team Penske Chevrolet had a tough Friday.
The New Zealander spun and went of track at two different points on Friday and speaking following the action he said:
There is a lot of commitment. That’s what I really enjoy. It reminds me of a track back home in Australia, Philip Island, which is a track that I always went really well at in the
Supercar as well. So, hopefully we can keep that trend going. The wins have been great, but it’s going to be a bit more inconsistent than we probably have seen this weekend with the rain.”

Will Power in the No.12 Verizon Team Penske Chevrolet ended the day in fourth place and speaking following the action he said:
“This is one of the nicest places that we come to. The promoters do a really great job of presenting this place. You drive in here, and you know you are at a special event. The car has a really good balance; needing just minor changes. It could be a mixed-up session (qualifying) with the weather, but we’ll see how it goes. If we can qualify in the top six, we’ll have a shot at a podium. In the top four, we’ll have a shot at a win. That’s what I’ve struggled with this year (qualifying).”
