Neil Verhagen
“It’s a testament to all the work that all the guys at Paul Miller Racing did last night to really get everything and etch out that last little bit of time to get us up there.
“It was super close. The littlest bit made the biggest difference today so, a big, big thank you to the Paul Miller guys for all their hard work. I was also very happy with my lap as welI. I can feel good rolling into the Sebring 12 Hour and chasing the win.”
Dan Harper
“I think we made a good step from Thursday, which was nice. Thursday was a bit of an unknown with where we were compared to our competitors.
“It’s a good job by the whole team and we’re in a good place, but obviously 12 hours, it’s a long way.”
