My last Michelin qualifier felt really good and my first three splits were not bad, but in the last split I didn’t quite put it together and I actually went a little bit slower in that split. Up until that point I had a pretty decent lap going. The third row isn’t really where I hoped to be starting the first race of the year and we’re just trying to get the front end right so that I’m able to roll around these corners and not have to do so much stop-and-go riding. We’ve got a few little issues with some chatter but the bottom line is that I’ve got to come in here tomorrow, do my part and get the most out of the bike. The team’s working hard and I’ve got faith in the boys in my corner. It’s going to be a big day tomorrow. We’ll bring all we’ve got, try to get a smokin’ start and not got pinched down there on the inside of the third row. I’m definitely looking forward to going racing again.
