Meyer Shank Racing Driver Quotes:

Felix Rosenqvist: “Solid run for us here and I think we improved a lot from last year. That was kind of the target going in. Unfortunately we didn't get the pole. But good execution and the car felt really good from practiceonward. Proud of the whole team and the car looks really cool with the Bombastic Radio livery with Shaggy. So, we're excited to get into race mode!

Marcus Armstrong: “Wasn't my cleanest run in the world, but happy we're starting in the ballpark for tomorrow. Going to be fun and hopefully it will be dry so we can get in the whole race. We've got something left in the tank for sure, so I'm ready to get racytomorrow.
