ALEXANDER SIMS, #3 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: "I wasn't quite sure how the tires would switch themselves on. But we had a plan that worked pretty well honestly, and the tires came in pretty quickly. Our Corvette was pretty on-point, I would say. It was rather sketchy out there, but it was fast and really enjoyable. Great job by the whole Pratt Miller team to get our Corvettes on the second row. The most frustrating thing is that Tommy (Milner) predicted I would be third and I called BS. But he was actually right so that's really frustrating! But honestly I think we were more competitive than I expected, so very pleased."

NICKY CATSBURG, #4 CHEVROLET CORVETTE Z06 GT3.R: "It felt like a very, very nice qualifying session. Normally when you're P4, you're kind of happy/not happy. But today I think we can be really happy. We showed real pace, better than expected. From my side it was a very enjoyable qualifying. The car was really nice... trying to push that little bit more every lap. This is such a high-commitment place. Super-good execution by the team. I think we nailed the setup and can be quite happy with a second-row start tomorrow." Source: Corvette Racing
