Bia will start at 3rd position in Sonoma, California. Race starts at 11:30 a.m.


Ana Beatriz matched her season high with a third-place starting spot in the No. 20 Healthy Choice/Sam Schmidt Motorsports car (1:23.4824). Felipe Guimaraes, competing in his third Firestone Indy Lights race, also will be on Row 2 after a quick lap 1:23.5818 in the No. 29 Bryan Herta Autosport car.

"This is a great result for the Healthy Choice/Sam Schmidt team," Beatriz said. "With that said, to be just two-hundredths (of a second) off of second position is a little frustrating. Still, this is a really great result for the entire team. We have a great race car, and I'm looking forward to a competitive race."
