SAGE KARAM, #88 TEAM MAZDASPEED /COMFORT REVOLUTION CAR

Starts tomorrow's race in P4

"We were really fast during the session, but we just got loose and nicked the wall. I think we're going to be able to put it back together. We have one of the best cars out there and I think Team MAZDASPEED/Comfort Revolution can win this race. So far the track has been pretty good to me, but with one little mistake, I know the limit. I'm looking forward to the race and the chance to bring the car back to the front."

SPENCER PIGOT, #8 TEAM MAZDASPEED/ SKIP BARBER CAR

Recorded a provisional 11th-place finish

"It was a really disappointing race. We had an incident early on so we were behind, but we had the car to win. I came back and had the fastest lap, so I will at least start on pole tomorrow. I have to thank the Team MAZDASPEED/Skip Barber guys for their hard work in getting the car back into shape tonight for tomorrow's race."

ZACH VEACH, #7 TEAM ZAKOSI DATA BACKUP CAR

Finished the race in 12th place (provisional results)

"Baltimore has been a really crazy weekend. I'm happy to be here as it's another street race, and it's the last race for USF2000 so I've been focusing on that. With the delay yesterday, we only had about four laps to practice than straight to racing so we qualified on points. Going into turn one, I was behind my teammate and I got hit from behind. Unfortunately I just didn't have anywhere to go and my brakes locked up. We sat in turn one until they could us back out. It's not where we wanted to finish, but we'll do the best we can tomorrow with the Team Zakosi Data Backup car."
