We were talking about the fine balance between the grip of the race track going early and what it’s going to get when it gets later and how much speed cars will pick up because of that.
“I think everybody is going to be wide open. I just had the tires sliding just enough through (Turn) 3 – through the middle of (Turns) 3 and 4 that you know you’re scrubbing speed. Drawing that early is going to hurt us for sure. I thought we had a good car in practice. It’s been a good day. I’m happy with what the team did and how things are going. We’ll just have to see where we end up and go from there.”
