Post Qualifying Quote
“I feel like I’m repeating myself, once again we made progress throughout the practice sessions but when it came time to put it all together for qualifying we were unable move up on the time sheets. It will be a long race tomorrow and anything can happen. We’ll just keep pushing forward and hopefully we can come out of Mid-Ohio with a decent result.”

Post Qualifying Quote
“Definitely not the qualifying we wanted which is a shame as I would have really enjoyed attacking to see where we stand, however tomorrow is a long day and our race car seems competitive. Things happen in racing and it’s about understanding and learning while progressing forward so it’s something we will take on the chin. I have full confidence in Dale Coyne Racing and Honda to find and resolve the issues from today!”
