Driver Quotes
Bryan Sellers
It was not a bad qualifying effort for us. It’s right about where we thought we’d be. We’d hope to be a little bit faster, but we just don’t have the outright speed as some of the other cars. We have a really good car over the race distance, so I hope that plays into our favor for the race. We’re in a good position to race, and that’s all we can ask for. Now we’ll do a few last minute changes and tweaks to get it where we want and we’ll see how the two hours and forty minutes unfold.

We had a good qualifying. Bryan got everything out of the car. There were a lot of cars making strong gains every lap out there. It was cool to see that everyone was so competitive. We kept telling Bryan what the fast lap was and where the leaders were. At the end of the lap, Bryan was able to put out a fast lap that jumped us a few positions and put us in a great position to start the race.
