Scott McLaughlin in the No.3 XPEL Team Penske Chevrolet qualified fourth for Sunday’s XPEL Grand Prix of Road America.
The New Zealander set a fastest time of 01:45.0137s.
Speaking following the action he said:
Pretty good day. Fastest Chevy, in the end. We didn’t run another set of reds. I think we could have got pole there, but we’re thinking long game. I think that’s about as good as a pole. We saved a set of tires and we’re in a good spot for tomorrow. So, I’m excited.”
Will Power in the No.12 Verizon Team Penske Chevrolet starts Sunday’s race eighth and speaking following afterwards he said:
The Verizon Chevy was really good in the second round (of qualifying). It was just unbelievably tight there, which is always the case in the INDYCAR SERIES. We only missed by a fraction. It was a hot afternoon, and it will be tomorrow, so we have to be ready for that. Plenty of speed in the car and we’ll go to work tonight on the strategy to be ready.”
Josef Newgarden in the No.2 PPG Chevrolet starts the race from tenth with 01:45.2834s and speaking following the action he said:
With a track this big you don’t think you’ll have an issue with traffic, but we absolutely did in that second round. A top-10 starting spot isn’t the worst here with the amount of passing zones you have but we definitely had enough speed in the PPG Chevy that we should have been fighting for a pole position.”
