Darren Manning on The 91st Indianapolis 500: “The Wind Caught Us Out”



DARREN MANNING (#14 ABC Supply Co. /AJ Foyt Racing Dallara/Honda/Firestone): “We’ve just been making so many baby steps with the setup. I just wish we had this car yesterday, and then we would have been in the show. I think we’re happy with the qualifying attempt. ”

How’s your month been overall?

“It’s been good. We didn’t get out until late, because this is a totally brand-new car. It’s a fast car. We spent a lot of time back at the workshop for two or three months really rubbing on the bodywork, the fit of the suspension and everything, which is the attention to detail that you really have to do nowadays. I’m happy. If you’ve got a comfortable car out there at Indianapolis in qualifying for 10 miles, you’re not going fast enough. So you kind of hold your breath for as long as you can and hang on to the thing. You don’t like doing that too often. ”
