Quotes from Mishael Abbott:

"It has been a long month of May here at Indianapolis - spotting for Jaques Lazier and getting prepared for this race. Now it's finally here and I'm so happy to be driving at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway today."

"We missed some laps during the practice sessions and are a little behind right now. I got everything I could out of the car and drove as fast as it would go for qualifying. We'll look at the data, make some changes for final practice, and work to find some more speed before the race tomorrow."

"We have a very good car for the race tomorrow. We picked up a little more speed in the last practice session and the car is handling well in traffic. I'm excited about my first race at the Speedway and am looking for a top five finish."
