Conor Daly in the No.76 Juncos Hollinger Racing Chevrolet says that the opening day of practice for the season-opening Firestone Grand Prix of St Petersburg presented by RP Funding was a solid day for the team.
The Noblesville native has taken up the No.76 Chevrolet due a new partnership that will be announced this weekend.
Speaking following the action on Friday, Daly said:
“I think that was a good first session for us. No problems, really. Just worked through our plan. Some decent speed in the car, too, so appreciate everyone at this team and everyone at Chevrolet for getting us going fast. We’ll keep working on getting towards the P1 spot.”
Sting Ray Robb in the No.78 was 23rd fastest and speaking following the action he said:
“Day one at St. Pete, I felt okay. We had a little bit messy of a session as a team, but all in all I think we have decent pace. I think if we clean it up, run smooth, the car has great speed, we’ve got great horsepower behind us. A little fine tuning here and there and we’ll be fine.”
