WADE CUNNINGHAM (No. 27 Automatic Fire Sprinklers, fastest in testing): “It was tough to go out today, especially for the rookies, I’d say. Conditions were terrible. You have minimum temperatures, looming moisture and on top of that you have a daunting 2.5-mile racetrack. Even for drivers like myself, it was a case of taking our time and getting up to speed. I can’t say we’ve done much. What we’ve done is pretty much how we rolled off the trailer. We’re not far down the test program, but I’m happy with the car. ”
CHRIS FESTA (No. 9 Target Chip Ganassi Racing, second fastest): “Today was not the day we wanted. We’ve been sitting here all day and playing the waiting game. We did get a couple of hours of running in, so we got into our test plan. From that aspect, it’s OK. Our car is pretty good. We’re not there yet, but we’re getting better. ”
