Juncos Hollinger Racing’s Conor Daly in the No.76 Cyclum NextGen Travel Centers Chevrolet says the team made a step forward with the balance of the car.
Daly will start today’s Children’s of Alabama Indy Grand Prix at Barber Motorsports Park from 19th place and speaking following qualifying he said:
Today we honestly made a really good step forward with our balance. Practice two was good for us. Then we just didn’t get the exact timing for the tires to get in, The second half of lap two was good and so was the first half of lap three. Both laps were similar in time. Just a little bit of a miss on what we needed in qualifying. Happy with the balance. I think we have a lot that we can show tomorrow which is really good. A great step forward for us as a team since we didn’t test here. It’s a positive step forward. I think we will be in good shape tomorrow.
Sting Ray Robb rolls off 22nd in the No.77 Chevrolet and speaking following the action he said:
Qualifying today was not where we wanted to be. We’ve been kind of on the back foot a little bit this weekend, compared to some cars around us. That’s part of the game when it rains in the middle of your practice session. It’s been a very interesting weekend so far. I think the race will be very exciting because of all of the chaos. I think we have a good direction for where we want to go. Conor and I have been working hard to find a package we’re happy with and I think we’re close. The race should be fun and we should be moving forward in the race.
