Qualifying left something to be desired. John qualifies P4 behind Simona, Vervich, and Summerton. Clearly he and the team are of the opinion that they should have put it together better than P4, but races have been won from further back. Miller Motorsports Park is not a great place to pass, so the start will be important. We will keep you posted.
Day 2 Practice and John is P2.



“It was a good session, but we’re still a little under four tenths (of a second) off,” said John. “I’ve got to keep the big picture in mind for the championship. We’ve always said we’re aiming for the top three every race. That’s what wins championships, so I’ve got that in mind. At the same time, I want the glory. I want pole tomorrow and to win the race on Sunday. We’ll go back and work on it, but it’s going to be tough. They’ve been dominating every practice session here. It’s going to be tough to beat Simona tomorrow, but we’ve been taking bites out of it. We’ll see if we can get it done tomorrow.”
