We made a couple of changes to the Team 7-Eleven car but it didn't quite work out for us either. We kept our same lap time. I was trying really hard, but I don't think we had enough to catch Briscoe. We might have caught Helio, but he was really fast. Now we have to make a good race car.
We're just working towards qualifying and trying to find the best setup for the Team 7-Eleven car.
I think it was a great team effort, ... We all worked pretty hard toward getting the pole. It was an awkward day in qualifying. Just we tried, we definitely tried. We have a good setup, we just need to see, see what's going to happen on race day.
