ROBBY GORDON, No. 7 Monster Energy Toyota Camry, Robby Gordon Motorsports Qualified: 32nd
Were you surprised by the increase of your speed from yesterday’s practice session? "Yesterday we were fifth and we thought we would pick-up about three-tenths (of a second). I didn’t expect everyone else to pick-up. I think Ryan (Newman) probably picked-up eight-tenths of a second. That’s a big pick-up. I think the tire might have rubbed on the fender a little bit. This is a tough game -- we are competing against the toughest teams in the business and we’re excited to have our Monster Energy car here. Hopefully, we’ll have a good race on Thursday of next week and we’ll see how it works out on Sunday."

Going by past history, many drivers will probably not run the second practice session today,as long as they are happy with their car.
