pit lane, driver out and okay

 

Max Papis, No. 66: 

"Today was a great learning curve for everyone. I'm really proud of the job
that the crew did. It's definitely proof of our integrity and our will to
succeed. We led a few laps and ran most of the time in the top three, four
until we had the driveshaft problems. But I think finishing a 24-hour is an
accomplishment and we'll take it from there."

 

Nic Jönsson, No. 67: 

"I don't know exactly what happened, but the fuel pressure dropped when we
were due to come in for our last pit stop for the race. I went to reserve in
the Bus Stop chicane, and in NASCAR three and four I was seeing and smelling
some minor smoke in the cockpit. When I came to where the speed limit starts
in the pit lane, instantly the whole cockpit just filled up with smoke, and
I just tried to stop as fast as possible and get out. It's a shame because I
think we definitely had the speed and the talent on the team to be in the
top five."
