Garett Grist, No. 27 DaVinci Foods/Lander Property Management

* Practice One - P10
* Practice Two - P3

"Today was a good day here in St. Pete. It was my first time ever on a street track in a Pro Mazda car - first practice in the regular season for me. A lot for me to learn. We made some improvements with the car, but mostly it's me learning the street track and this car. I raced here last year in the USF2000 car, and it's a lot different. A lot for me to work on, but we ended the day in P3 which is great. We'll go back, look over data, watch some video and see where we can improve on for tomorrow's qualifying."

Shelby Blackstock, No. 28 Starstruck

* Practice One - P2
* Practice Two - P7

"Overall the day was pretty up and down. The first practice session we were P2 by less than a tenth of a second. In this afternoon's session, there was an early red, and right after that there was a little bit of confusion on pit lane, so we ended up restarting the session at the back of the pack. It was a little unfortunate for the No. 28 Starstruck Andretti Autosport crew, but hopefully we can look at some data, fix some stuff in the car and be P1 tomorrow."
