Driver quotes follow:
Benjamin buenbsrger: "For about threequarters of my stint the car was good,
but then the tira started to go and it was understeering in the slow turns. Then it
changed and we had an ovarsker.
"We may h3w a small problem with the fuel pump or the engine. 1 was quicker
In the infield portion of the track but slower than the cars I WM running with on the
straights.''
Didiw Thays: 'The balance was OK. We lost at least 8 lap when we ran out of
fuel, and after that my belts came loose. There was a problem with the brakes too. We
probably would Rave had a sixth-place car without those problems."
