Good morning! We are all leaving the Golden Nugget Hotel and headed to start/finish. It's race day! T/T and Class Ones go off at 7:00am and we're starting off in the middle of the pack -- #29 off the line. The team is excited, prepared, and ready to go. Their goal is to be consistent, smooth, and finish the race.

CANIDAE T/T finishes qual lap. We started off with a 45 mph parade lap to learn the short qual coarse. We started off lap #2 as Cameron Steele had an unfortunate rollover in the parade lap. We feel as though we had a nice smooth clean lap around 4:00 minutes, and we'll find out where we ended up later today. We're headed to main pit to finish set up and then over to contingency.
