DEBRIEF
“I think it was a tough day for everybody out there. The track conditions meant that it was going to be pretty slippery and the cars were going to be quite a handful. We really struggled in that first stint and I just wasn’t able to get the lap time out of the No. 23 car. The guys did a great job in pit lane, and we flipped up the strategy on the last stint when we went with the Firestone alternate tires which helped us out a lot. We’ll go back to the drawing board and evaluate what we did here and hopefully be able to learn from it.”

DEBRIEF
“First off, congratulations to Max and the whole Carlin team for making it into the Firestone Fast Six – just a really good job by those guys. It’s unfortunate for us, because we were just a couple of tenths off from advancing into the second round. I will say that testing here last week was a huge asset for us, because had we not done that we would have been so much further off after how choppy yesterday’s sessions were with all the reds and yellows. Again I’m really happy for the No. 59 crew – it just shows the progress that Carlin has been making and how we’re continuing to step up each and every time we get to the race track.”

DEBRIEF
“It was a decent start to the weekend. It was a little tough during that second session, with a lot of red flags. We just didn’t get the lap time we thought the car is capable of. But we’ll learn overnight. We’ll look at what the No. 59 car did, figure out how to be better, and make a plan for tomorrow.”
