CART: Cleveland Grand Prix Friday Qualifying Notes, Adrian Fernandez

26 June 1999

ADRIAN FERNANDEZ -40- Tecate/Quaker State Ford - Qualified 15th -- "The track still doesn't have good grip. Last year we were very strong here but we have not found it yet this year but we are getting closer. We just have to work a little harder getting the car to work through the bumps. We need to qualify better tomorrow so we can get on the podium on Sunday. Last year I qualified 17th and ended up finishing 5th but we can't expect to make up that much ground again." MANY OF THE DRIVERS COMMENTED ON THE BUMPS. ARE THE BUMPS GIVING YOU PROBLEMS? "This is the bumpiest place we race. Even more so than some of the temporary street courses. But it is a fun place to race at the same time. The bumps just make it a bit more challenging to set the car up."
