Dominguez Aims Top-10 Finish In the Race Ron McQueeney/IMS

Mario on Qualifying: ““It was a very nice day here in Watkins Glen. I am enjoying the track and getting more and more comfortable all the time. Every time we go out we make the car faster and we’ve made several gains in the last 24 hours, so I am very optimistic. My ultimate goal would be to finish in the top-ten, it would be very difficult, but anything can happen. ”

Tyler Tadevic, Team Owner: “I am very please with the gains we are making and the pace which we are making them. I chose to keep the team in California the past few weeks and I think it was certainly the right thing to do. It gave us some time to properly prepare the car, to build the back up car and I think it shows already this weekend. Rather than running around playing catch-up, we can now process our information and benefit from it. This should allow us continued and much quicker improvements. Mario is doing a great job and there and we are hoping for a solid run. ”
