JACK HARVEY, No. 30 PeopleReady Dallara/Honda/Firestone: “There were a few things we wanted to try. I think the weather is going to be much hotter on race day and I think our cars have been great in the hot conditions so Carb Day was really about us trying to step through a set of progressions we are anticipating having to go through the race with. Actually, in the end, I was pretty happy with the balance at the end. Because of how qualifying weekend went, we were a little limited on tires but did the best we could with what we had and think we ended in a pretty good spot so im very optimistic that we’ll go forward in the race. The No. 30 PeopleReady car has been through a month. Miss Moneypenny deserves some love for sure. We’re going to hopefully pouring milk over her in two days time.”
KATHERINE LEGGE, No. 44 Hendrickson Dallara/Honda/Firestone: “The team has done an awesome job of getting the car back together and in a pretty raceable shape. Although we didn’t get to run the whole session and do practice pit stops, I think we’re in good shape for Sunday. When I left pit lane everything seemed fine and I went through Turn 1 and it was okay and then into Turn 2, I sort of felt a wobble and thought I had a loose tire. Then the wobble got worse and I realized it probably wasn’t smart to try and it bring it back to pit lane. Unfortunately, we had to pull off and I think it’s broken through the threads on the hub.”
CHRISTIAN LUNDGAARD, No. 45 Hy-Vee Dallara/Honda/Firestone: “Carb Day is done and we struggled a little more than we did Monday but I think the car is in a decent window. There is room for improvement but I think we’ve got a better package than the qualifying package was for sure so I guess we’ll see how that pans out on race day. I’m excited for my second Indy 500 and first in the Hy-Vee Honda.”
