IN CK’S WORDS
“The timing stand made the right call with the two-stop strategy. It meant I had to save quite a bit of fuel at times, but we were still able to run a pretty good pace and get a pretty good fuel mileage number. Overall I’m happy with the day. We didn’t have any good luck or any help, but we didn’t have any bad luck either. The way this year has gone, we’ll definitely take that. We’ll take a top-10 and pick up a little momentum heading to Texas looking for a podium, if not a win, next weekend.”

IN CK’S WORDS
“I don’t know when we’re going to get some good luck this season. We just keep getting followed by gremlins. Unfortunately the No. 4 car just had a mechanical failure right in front of me, and I had nowhere to go and just clipped him and spun. I feel badly for the Novo Nordisk Chip Ganassi Racing crew because they did a really fast first pit stop and gained position. In clean air we were definitely going forward. We have a quick car which bodes well for tomorrow. We just have to manage and react to what the weather does and go racing another 70 laps tomorrow.”

FRIDAY, JUNE 2
RESULTS
Practice 1: P15, 1:06.45
Practice 2: P17, 1:06.90
IN CK’S WORDS
“Overall that second session was just terrible. We missed on setup, we missed on the gears – we just missed on everything. The Firestone alternates threw a curveball at us that we weren’t ready for. We have a whole lot of information from this afternoon on what not to do and I think our positions across the entire team show it. We need to find some lap time and we need to reset back to where we were this morning. We need to come up with a game plan with it being a short weekend and going straight into qualifying in the morning.”
