Graham Rahal, No. 02 McDonald’s Dallara/Honda/Firestone:
“It’s definitely disappointing because I felt like we would have been able to qualify much higher than tenth given our pole in Kansas and progress on ovals. The McDonald’s car should be pretty good here and I felt pretty confident so it’s awfully frustrating to not even get a shot to go out there and see what we’ve got. It’s disappointing.”
