Daniel Suárez, driver of the No. 99 Choice Hotels Chevrolet Camaro for Trackhouse Racing:

“Our balance wasn’t horrible today; we just didn’t have speed. The leaders looked like they had new tires and I had old tires. At times, it felt like I had basketballs for tires. We will keep working on it and try to learn where we can get better.”
