Daniel Herrington qualifies 9th for the Firestone Freedom 100 with a two lap average of 188.412.

Daniel:

“We made a bunch of changes before qualifying to try and get a bunch of speed out of it. Track conditions are definitely hotter than they were this morning or the test earlier this month. On new tires it’s not that big an issue but for the race it will likely be a bigger issue. We’re looking forward to seeing what we can do.”

Bryan:

“We qualified about where we were expecting based on practice this morning. I don’t think we have yet unlocked the key to a really good qualifying set up in these cars. It is something we are still learning about. This being our second oval race with these cars, we’re still trying to figure out a little bit, but we out qualified a lot of good teams in good cars today. Daniel (Herrington) and James (Davison) are in good qualifying positions and we feel better about our race set up. We’re feeling optimistic we can get a pair of top fives in the Freedom 100 on Friday.”
