We have added today's full qualifying results. See below.
04/01/16 Juncos Racing's Kyle Kaiser has won the pole for tomorrow's Indy Lights presented by Cooper Tires race at Phoenix International Raceway. Carlin's Ed Jones will start second with Santi Urrutia, RC Enerson, and Felix Serralles rounding out the top-five.
Kaiser and Jones have come to the media center for their post-session press conference. I'll have a full table of the results posted when it becomes available.
Kyle Kaiser (#18 InterVision/NetApp/Juniper Networks-Juncos Racing): “We were quickest in the session before qualifying so we really contemplated how much we wanted to change for qualifying. We stayed aggressive because we did think the track would get better. We made good changes to the setup. I was confident in our decision so I kept it flat the whole way and just hoped for the best. The car felt perfect; I was surprised how good the track was. We did a lot of long runs in previous tests here, so we know what the tires will do. But ovals are scary, I’ll be completely honest. They’re intimidating, especially in a car like this where you’re going so fast. You have to have confidence that the car is behind you and that you have the experience. That translates to your feedback as well, so you get a better car."
