"I ran a lot on Wednesday and it was a really good experience to get out there with other teams and other cars on the track," said Allmendinger. "With each lap and each session we made progress forward. We were a little off the pace, but we're moving in the right direction. I definitely feel we have put together a good start for heading into Long Beach." Allmendinger took the day off on Friday to seek medical attention for a sore elbow resulting from bursitis he developed during his fitness training. Champ Car veteran Michel Jourdain Jr., who was already in Sebring observing, was available to step in for A.J. and help the RūSPORT crew continue to gather valuable track time and data. "These three days were tremendously important for us," said Steve Wulff, Operations Director for RūSPORT. "We were able to get a good gauge on where we are and where we need to be to be competitive at Long Beach. Every piece of information we gathered is useful and every exercise here had purpose for us. It was also very beneficial to us that Michel was here and able to step in on such short notice so that we could continue to make headway on our program."
