"It was a tough day trying to figure everything out. It's been four days since we were last in the car, so getting an idea of where we stack up is difficult. Ultimately, the balance of the No. 7 VELO Arrow McLaren Chevrolet is OK. We're just looking for a little bit of overall performance."

Gavin Ward, Team Principal, Arrow McLaren, said:

"We wrapped up our Carb Day. Now all that’s left is racing. It looked a little harder for people to race today in these conditions, but we will see what we get come race day. We’ve got four fast Chevrolets, four great drivers and a great team. Let’s go racing."
