(3 August 2019) \u2013 Taking her first official laps around Road America\u2019s 4-mile circuit this weekend, Bia Figueiredo continued to get familiar with the track as she qualified the No. 57 Caterpillar Acura NSX GT3 of Heinricher Racing with Meyer Shank Racing on Saturday. Figueiredo brought home an eighth-place qualifying effort for Sunday\u2019s IMSA Road Race Showcase.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Figueiredo and co-driver Katherine Legge worked hard with the team through three practice sessions to maximize the setup. Overnight adjustments on Friday found additional pace for the No. 57 Acura heading into Saturday\u2019s qualifying run.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Figueiredo began the 15-minute qualifying run with her strongest laps of the weekend. Unfortunately, the GT-Daytona field was caught out by a red flag due to lightning in the area with just six minutes to go in the session. Unable to run another flying lap, Figueiredo will start eighth on the grid after posting a 2:06.426-second lap.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRoad America is a great track and it\u2019s nice to be back with Heinricher Racing, Meyer Shank Racing and Katherine,\u201d said Figueiredo. \u201cThis is a very long track so there has been a lot to learn but the team has been doing a great job to get the car set up. Unfortunately, the red flag caught us off guard and I wasn\u2019t able to finish my fast lap. We start eighth and hopefully we can improve during the race tomorrow.\u201d<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Sunday\u2019s IMSA Road Race Showcase will go green at 2:35pm ET with a delayed NBCSN broadcast set for 6:00pm ET.
