Quotes
Nick Yelloly: (#93 Acura Meyer Shank Racing with Curb Agajanian Acura ARX-06) qualified third “I think we maximized everything we had. It’s clear the guys in front have done a great job this weekend. But I’m sure I can get racy in turn one and make up a place or even two, and try to make their life as difficult as possible. Starting further forward at a circuit like this always opens up strategy and obviously good fun for the race start. Happy for everyone here at MSR and HRC and looking forward to tomorrow.”

Tom Blomqvist: (#60 Acura Meyer Shank Racing with Curb Agajanian Acura ARX-06) qualified fifth “Terrible session for me. I just couldn’t get the tire in the window. I pushed a bit early and went off. It was just a disaster. I really struggled for the balance and couldn’t get a rhythm. Onwards to the race tomorrow.”
