Broc Feeney – Car #88
“We had a good start to the day and made really good improvements in practice two. We ended up that session in fourth place which was really good and I felt like we had a big improvement from the first practice session. Our qualifying session was going ok at the start. I probably didn’t get the best laps I did in early in the session, but on my last run on my second lap, I was looking like being in the top ten but managed to get a yellow flag at turn nine, so I had to back off and lost a bit of time. When I came out of the corner it was green again and tried to push on, but it wasn’t enough. It was very frustrating because it felt like we should have been in the top ten, but tomorrow’s a new day and we’ll focus on the race car for tomorrow’s final practice session and try to do something different for the race.”

“My qualifying run was just littered with mistakes. The car was very hard to drive, and I was probably pushing a bit too hard and didn’t back it down enough. I probably should have accepted to try and get into the shootout rather than go all out and I’m pretty pissed off with myself right now. The car obviously wasn’t that great and was impossible to drive on the limit, but we’ll have a catch up with the engineering group tonight and hopefully make some changes before tomorrow’s final practice run. Tomorrow’s race is going to be tough, but we’ll try and get things right for Sunday.”
