Filipe Albuquerque, full season co-driver, No. 10 Cadillac WTR V-Series.R: “No matter the result, it’s just a blast to qualify at Road America. I just love it! Last year I was on pole and was three-thousandths off the fastest Cadillac, so that shows the performance we have there. I’m really happy with my lap. In hindsight, I can tweak here and there, but everyone has that being on the limit. We had good improvements from practice to quali, so pretty happy with the car, the lap that we did and the work that we’ve done. Bring on the race. We finished second in Detroit starting from P8, so I don’t about tomorrow.”

 

 

Jordan Taylor, full season co-driver, No. 40 Cadillac WTR V-Series.R: “I think we got the most out of the car that we could. All the Cadillacs are within a tenth, so that’s pretty much the maximum for where the car is right now. Hopefully, we can fight for a top five tomorrow. We’ll have to make something happen in the pits, strategy-wise.”
