Quotable:
“We’re looking to St. Louis to be a bounce back weekend for us. Our Bandero GR Supra has been running so strong as of late but we just got behind the eight ball early in Charlotte and dug ourselves in a bit of a hole, which put us in a really tough first-round match on Sunday. We were able to get the issue with our steering resolved so we’re looking forward to starting the weekend with a clean slate and on the same playing field as everyone else. The weather is not looking so great as of now, but hopefully that will change and we’ll have a shot at four qualifying runs. It’s imperative we come out of the gate swinging in Q1 and give ourselves a strong baseline to work off of for that Q2 night run. If you miss it in that Friday night session, you really put yourself in a tough position come Sunday morning, and that’s exactly what happened to us in Charlotte. So, the game plan remains the same – go out there, qualify well, and then take it one round at a time on Sunday.”
