Ed Carpenter Racing’s Rinus VeeKay had a fantastic qualifying for Sunday’s 2022 NTT IndyCar Series season-opening Firestone Grand Prix presented by RP Funding.
The Dutch driver rolls off P4 on Sunday and speaking following the action he said:
“I am very happy with qualifying, P4! First ever Firestone Fast 6 experience, very proud of the team. They gave me a great car! We had an amazing off-season to use as a base for this weekend. On to a great result tomorrow!”
Conor Daly had a disappointing session and starts the race from 20th place and speaking following the action he said:
Our teammate Rinus [VeeKay] did a great job. I could not quite find the grip that I needed. The team has given me a great car, the work they put in over the winter is really obvious. The car feels better than last year and I feel better as a driver. Not what we wanted out of qualifying for sure, but there’s a lot of positives over all. We’re going to go get after it tomorrow, the race is what matters!
