Quotable:
“It’s not where we wanted to be going into race day, but this mountain is always tough to tame. We’re getting there. We need to get the car to run on all eight cylinders and we’ll be right there. Tomorrow the conditions will be way different than they were during qualifying. We’ll race during the day, and it’s going to be a lot hotter. The main thing is to get this Matco Tools Toyota tuned up and to where it needs to be. The guys are working their tails off. We’ll go out there, keep our heads down, put the pedal down, and give it all we got.”
