Sébastien Bourdais - 01 Cadillac DPi-V.R
“The people at Cadillac Racing have done a really good job with the car. We know this race doesn’t play out in the sun, it plays out at night so we’ll keep rocking on it. I’ve been assigned qualifying this year and it has been a fun experience and I really enjoy it. Hopefully, we can put the Cadillac on pole in the last race of the DPi era and go win this race for the first time with Chip Ganassi Racing.”

Earl Bamber - 02 Cadillac DPi-V.R
“I’m feeling really good. We did our homework, we had a good test when we came here and we rolled off the truck really well. Everyone on the 02 crew has done a great job to prep the car. We managed to roll through the drivers and I think everyone is pretty comfortable with the car. Today has just been about race preparation. I get to do the last qualifying of the year and last qualifying of the DPi car so I’m going to see if I can grab one last pole position for Cadillac and Chip Ganassi Racing.”
