What they have to say…

Mike Conway, No. 24 Roll Coater: “All weekend we have been struggling with trying to get a good base setup for the car. We have been working hard every night and things didn’t change much from this morning. We are trying more things and try gino in different directions. We still have a little more work to do. The weekend is not over yet and we still have time to move up on the grid for the race tomorrow. All in all pretty disappointed, but the team is working hard to solve it and I feel confident for tomorrow’s race.”

Milka Duno, No. 23 CITGO: “I think the team made a great effort today and the car was much better. I’m just disappointed because I think that I have to be a little quicker. We will see for tomorrow. It’s another day and we will see for the race.”
