“It’s been a long month, to say the least. The crew did an unbelievable 
job getting us here. We’re still chasing down a few small gremlins but 
we’re confident. They all appear to be minor and we’ll get them fixed.”

“The important thing is,” continued Nowicki, “we’re on the grid in the 
first round of qualifying. With that locked, the crew can focus on race 
prep and setup. We’ll get a little track time this morning to see where 
we’re at then we’ll start making race decisions.”
