Saturday Qualifying:

Airton Dare, #1 Banestado Lola - Qualified 2nd:

"I had a good lap going near the end of the session, but I came on traffic and had to slow down. Fortunately, there was just enough time left for me to cool down the tires for a lap and get one more fast one in on the last lap before the checkered flag. I think we have a good car for the race tomorrow. The track seems faster than it was last year. The concrete areas and the transition from the asphalt to the concrete is not affecting the car as much this year."

Guy Smith, #6 Swift Caravans Lola - Qualified 10th:

"We tried to work on the balance of the car with new tires and we just missed the sweet spot. We lost most of qualifying yesterday when I went off and that put us behind. Hopefully we will be able to make up some ground on the track tomorrow."
