³We made a couple of solid runs out there,² Pedregon said. ³As always, the
track is in great condition. I¹m pretty excited with what we¹ve learned and
we¹ll make a few adjustments and  see what we can create tomorrow. But I
think we¹re in a good position and have collected a lot of valuable data so
far.²
