“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

“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.”
