Daytona - Qualifying Report
Friday, July 2, 2010 at 01:07PM 
We are back in Florida, with all the heat and in this case, rain, that comes with it. The No. 44 Magnus Racing Porsche 911 GT3 Cup emerged from under the team’s awning for morning practice, looking good-as-new and looking like nothing had happened at Mid-Ohio two weeks ago.
Craig took the car out in the first session, which started with a light rain and a wet surface, and easily had the car in the top-10 and up to fourth until the track began to dry. A few chassis changes for the second session, where the rain came back, saw Craig go to P3 right before the checkered flew.
Fearless leader of Magnus Racing, John Potter, jumped in the car for the Truman/Akin practice and ran very quickly, giving the team a good feeling heading into qualifying. John clearly had his Wheaties for breakfast, as he pedaled his team’s Porsche around Daytona International Speedway in a time good for seventh on the grid, despite a couple of moments with traffic in the session. It was a marked improvement from our qualifying at the Rolex 24 at Daytona, when Craig qualified in 21st position…
Both John and Craig report being very happy with the car, with Craig reporting that the car was “splendid” and John saying that it was handling great in both the wet and dry conditions.
“I’m really happy with how things went today,” said John following the session. “The car was good, and all the credit to the team and crew for working so hard over the past two weeks to get it back in shape after the crash at Mid-Ohio. The Porsche is working well here and I am looking forward to tomorrow.”
The race begins tomorrow at 8:15 AM ET, and will be broadcast at 1:00 PM ET on SPEED Channel.
