TEAM CHEVY NOTES AND QUOTES
ROLEX 24 AT DAYTONA
DAYTONA INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY
JANUARY 30, 2011
RICKY TAYLOR – No. 10 SUNTRUST CHEVROLET DALLARA – comments following his stint behind the wheel in the Rolex 24. He got out of the car at 6 a.m. when the race when under caution because of fog. At the time, SunTrust Racing was in 10th place, six laps off the pace. (Earlier in the race, the No. 10 SunTrust Chevrolet Dallara spent time in the garage for a suspension repair.)“It’s tough coming from behind from kind of a mistake earlier in the race, but the car is working really well. Everything is just running so smoothly – other than that one little hiccup. I think we can come back. There’s a long way to go. The car is so strong. It’s easy to drive. It’s just a shame that we’re six laps down right now.”
IS IT POSSIBLE TO MAKE UP SIX LAPS IN THE REMAINING TIME? “It’s possible, but we’re under this caution for so long, it’s kind of wasting time. We want to get racing and get those laps back.”
