“To come to Indy and qualify No. 1 is a dream come true, plain and simple,” Hartford said. “That 6.601 in those conditions, that’s more impressive to me than the 6.56 we ran on Friday night. I need to get focused tonight, I’m going to have to do something to clear my head before I go to bed because getting up tomorrow is a brand new day. It doesn’t matter what you did on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, what matters is what you do on Monday. It’s going to be four grueling rounds tomorrow.
“We’re going to be in conditions similar to this, and we have a great race day tune-up. We’re going to go up there with some strategy tomorrow and if I just do my job in the car, my crew is going to do theirs. All I have to do is my job and this car is going to go four rounds.”
