First Round Matchup: John Force
Quotable: “The run we made in Q4 was like we did in Q1. We just had some weird issues and part breakages. I made a mistake on Q2, which sucked, but actually helped us learn. I got the car out of the groove and there was smoke, but there was a reason for it. We made some adjustments and we were able to make a good run in Q4. We were fourth quick and we were able to move into the top half of the field. Super proud of my Global Electronic Technology/WIX Filters Toyota team and I am looking forward to Sunday.”

Quotable: “Definitely not the way we wanted to end qualifying with the DHL/WIX Filters Toyota Camry. We are fighting some demons and gremlins inside the car, but we will get them worked out before tomorrow. You have to be in it to win. We are qualified 15th and have a tough opponent in Jack Beckman tomorrow morning. My DHL guys are working hard, we will get it turned around and ready for Sunday.”
