Driver Quotes:

Tom Blomqvist (No. 60): “Solid job with P2 and not bad place to start. The No. 31 is fast and we were both really close, so it's just a matter of hundredths. Really good job by the team. It’s a 6-hour race, so a lot can happen. Now we focus on that and will make it count tomorrow."

Renger van der Zande (No. 93): “A decent place to start, of course, and we always do pretty well in qualifying. I don’t want to be skeptical that others have the upper hand because we are getting better every session. We will hopefully make even more improvements as the race rolls on and have a great shot at the end."
