Eric Curran turned the quickest lap of the day in the Street Tuner (ST) class at 51.813 seconds (90.325 mph) in the No. 01 Scada Pack/Georgian Bay Motorsports Chevrolet Cobalt. Curran is sharing the ride with Jamie Holtom, with whom he co-drove to a class-leading four ST victories last season. However, Curran and Holtom enter Saturday’s race still looking for their first KONI Challenge Series win this season.
“The track is a lot of fun, ” Curran said. “It’s a nice new facility. It’s good to be here in Iowa. I’ve never even been in the state before I don’t think. Figuring out the track isn’t that bad. We’re getting it sorted out pretty quickly. We’re struggling a bit with the car, and we’re a little bit down on straight line speed here to a lot of the other cars. It seems very important to draft other cars, for sure. I ran the quickest lap in a three-car draft in front of me. I think that might be key to this race. These guys are working like crazy on this Scada Pack Cobalt, trying to make it the best it can be for the race. We’ll see what it brings. I don’t think we have the fastest car here, but maybe the draft and being smart will be the key. ”
