Sebastian Saavedra, No. 34 Conquest Racing
"It's the most aggressive quaifiying run I've made in my life. We were in a very tough group, so I'm satisfied with the position we qualified. Of course I want to improve even more. But from the progress we've made since practice one to where we are now, we've done a great job. We'll continue working and looking towards the race."
Eric Bachelart, Conquest Racing Team Owner
"I'm very pleased with the qualifying today. We're progressing. This is only Sebastian's third IndyCar race on a road course, so we are very pleased with his qualifying effort. It's going to be a long season, and it's nice to see the progress that we're making."
