JAQUES LAZIER (No. 21 Indiana Ice/Venture Logistics Panoz/Honda/Firestone, seventh-fastest non-qualified driver): “In the morning, we were in race trim, and we’re happy with our race trim. We got a pretty decent tow but not a great tow. More importantly, the car was good in dirty air, so that was the key, and then we went out and did about a run and a half in qualifying trim and was just really getting everything trimmed out. Then we had our left rear stay break when we were just getting ready to simulate a qualifying run, but I think we’re making gains, and I think the car has got a low (2)21 (mph) in it right now. We’ll fine-tune it a little bit tonight, and we’ll be ready for tomorrow. ”
About weekend game plan:
“Just put it in the show. Whatever we get, we get, and it’s not going to be a big issue, and we’ll go and start doing some more long runs and fuel runs in race trim and get the car as good as possible for Race Day. ”
About putting together four good laps for qualifications:
“It’s a different scenario than it was last weekend. Last weekend, we started throwing stuff at it, and we were playing catch-up, and we weren’t really where we should have been. I’m proud of the guys because they worked really hard. ”
