Memphis: Ryan Schnitz Friday summary

Schnitz 9th in Memphis

"We got hit with a really big rain storm and all the teams got soaking wet and had to clean their bikes up," reported Schnitz. "That put a damper on things and made for a long day, especially with the heat and humidity.

"Ours wasn't a really quick pass, but we had a clean run. It looks like it may be a horsepower issue and we may be changing motors tomorrow. If we don't, we'll just look over this one and try and run quicker with it.

"Our test session this past week went really well. We made nine clean passes and kinda got back on track with the bike and the crew and everything, so we're confident that we're gonna improve tomorrow as long as the weather holds out."
