Acura Meyer Shank Racing Qualifying Driver Quotes:
Renger van der Zande: “Great result and the car was really, really nice to drive. The whole program is really coming together nicely- the HRC staff together with the Acura Meyer Shank Racing crew. We have one year under our belt and you can see the improvements on execution. I am very proud of my team and enjoying this week with my talented teammates. It’s always great to lead the field at Daytona, but it’s a long race and we need to be focused on making it to the end of the race so we can be there for the finish.”
Tom Blomqvist: “The field is very, very close. We had a really promising practice session this morning, so we were feeling pretty good going into qualifying but we just didn’t have a great session. I got a bit out of sync and then another car spun in front of us and I had to kind of back it up. I think we missed the balance a little bit in qualifying and it wasn’t as good as we had expected. Luckily we don’t have too much to worry about with 24 hours ahead of us.”
