Daly Fastest In Second Practice At Trois Rivieres

Trois-Rivieres, August 15, 2009: Mazdaspeed-driver Conor Daly set fast time during yesterday's second practice around the 1.521 mile circuit, and posed little trouble to the youngster from Noblesville, Ind. by posting a time of 1.01.978.

"If the weather is cool enough, I'd expect qualifying to get into the low 1:01s," says Daly. "This is my first time here and I was hoping to put in a lot of laps this morning, but the exactly opposite happened. It’s a measure of how good my team, Andersen Racing, is that we were able to overcome those twin handicaps and turn the fastest time this afternoon. Qualifying is another matter, or course, but I'm feeling good about it."

This afternoon's split-qualifying session will begin at 10:30 AM EDT.
