“That’s a long, tough, physical race, but we stuck in there. I didn’t race as well as I would’ve liked. Gave up a few too many positions but we still stayed through it and kept the nose clean. Now we just have to get ready to fight again tomorrow.”

Qualifying:

POSITION: Race 1 – 15 / Race 2 – 14

After running in the top 10 during morning practice, Chadwick secured her fastest qualifying lap in a late session run.

Chadwick improved in the qualifying session for Race 2 from 15th to 14th, with a time of 1:08.0675.

“I’m pretty disappointed. After practice, I felt like we were in a good place. However, we couldn’t quite get the time in qualifying. It goes so quick. We didn’t quite get the opportunity. It’s going to be a busy race tomorrow, so I’m looking forward to fighting forward.”
