Practice Notes and Quotes

Driver: Richie Hearn

Car: Pagan Racing No. 75 Dallara/Oldsmobile/Firestone

Position 13th - 42.0689 seconds - 213.935 mph

Quotes - We finally got out there on time. I was able to run 16 laps, just a handful of laps. We ran a hundred times better than we did right out of the box. We ran ten mph faster than I had been running. That's the good news. The bad news is, it's raining and we still need another six mph to be comfortable. Hopefully we'll get to run tomorrow.

The car definitely felt like a real race car. It was working properly, but this is where we should have been the other day. We can't do anything about that now, so we'll just have to keep working on it.
