A lot of it came down to timing and I was fortunate that we just missed the rain. I am really pumped for tomorrows race. Id like to thank Volkswagen, Castrol and all the people that have supported my career so far.The qualifying session, run under threatening skies, was abbreviated to gather information on tire wear occurring on the recently repaved Lime Rock circuit.
