Andrew: Fabulous day.
Jody: Stage 2 pushed us up in the scores. The Kia team of Hill/Kostick, who were leading in our class and ahead of us on the stage, ran into problems. As we came up the crest of a hill, Andrew spotted the car and almost immediately after saw a puff of smoke and said, "he just blew something." I knew we could get past him and told Andrew not to lift. The Kia waved us past but we picked up a piece of engine debris in our rear right tire. Fortunately, the Michelin held to the end of the stage. We've now got number one spot in our class and we're ninth in the Modern division.
Andrew: It's unfortunate we had to pass the Kia that way, but we'll take it. I felt bad for about 30 seconds....
Jody: It was a long day. What a solid car. There hasn't been a single problem except for the tire. And there are a number of competitors who haven't been as fortunate.
Andrew: We've really found our groove. I'm not trying to slow Jody down anymore because the less I say the better he drives. He drove phenomenally today -- his best day yet.
Jody: Our overall approach is working well, and today was very consistent. I think we'll even pick up speed tomorrow.
