Quotable:
“I’m super proud of my team. We’re getting better and better with every run and we did that this weekend. We’re looking forward to race day tomorrow. We hate that we have to race our teammate, Leah (Pruett) and that team with (crew chiefs) Todd Okuhara and Neal Strausbaugh. We have to go at it with our heads down and give it all we’ve got and go down the race track. We like the progress we made in qualifying, getting quicker each lap.”
